Obolon head coach Oleksandr Antonenko commented on the sparring against Kudrivka (1:2) during the championship break, and also shared his thoughts before the game with Donetsk Shakhtar in the UPL.

" We got into trouble with this plant. Naturally, the song’s nuances begin to emerge, but we calmly set the correct principles.

A pause at a national team match does not interrupt. We played a control match with Kudrivka, following the normal work cycle - as we did before. There is nothing problematic here. Golovne – the goal of the gravers before work and the tasks we set for them. We will try to play with Shakhtar the way we need.

Shakhtar is a brand, one of the flagships of Ukrainian football for many years. The key factor for the game will be the motivation of the players and their determination to finalize the plan for the match and the strategies that we will achieve.

We are tuned in for all matches.

In case of some more, some less, but we cannot divide the rivals into Shakhtar, Kudrivka, Dynamo and Poltava. It doesn't matter. A professional football player is obliged to stand up to his responsibility professionally. Any supernik, regardless of name, is responsible for motivating the graver to show his maximum,” the club’s press service quotes Antonenko.

Guess what, the match Obolon - Shakhtar will take place tomorrow, November 22, about 18:00 outside Kiev.
