The defender of Shakhtar and Ukraine national team Sergii Kryvtsov shared his expectation of the upcoming friendly game vs Morocco
- Sergii, how did the training week at the Ukrainian team camp pass?
- We worked well and fruitfully. Our major focus was on the tactical aspects. It was necessary to recall the playing principles, which the coaches demand from us, and to try to reach automaticity in our actions within this short time. We really want to deliver some eventful football in the game vs the World Cup 2018 participants and, of course, to win. The guys’ attitude is serious.
- What’s the atmosphere in the team?
- Just great. The team is close-knit, with a sense of humour, so the training camp passes faster and easier in this kind of atmosphere. Of course, we feel some fatigue after the season’s second part, but all of us are the professionals understanding that we represent Ukraine. We need to do our best in the upcoming games and go on vacation in a great mood.
- What do you know about the national team of Morocco?
- They are the worthy opponents, having some skilled players at their disposal, many of whom play for European clubs. We know that the friendly against Albania may not take place, but nothing depends on us here. We are preparing to play both games.
