Bohdan Butko tells about the Ukrainian Cup final, his training sessions and the role of fans
- Bohdan, the vacation period is nearing completion. Have you managed to recover from the difficult year and get charged with some positive emotions for the season’s second part?
- The vacation is not quite regular. I had just a week of rest, then I began some active training. I’ve got two sessions nearly every day. My family and I travelled to the Maldives, then we spent the New Year with a large group of relatives and friends in Egypt.
- The New Year is always the time for reflecting on milestones. What do you remember in the year 2018?
- It was a mixed period for me. I played in the first part of the year all the time, while the second one saw some highs and lows of mine. Of course, I remember our winning the title and the Ukrainian Cup. The Cup is particularly memorable because of my first appearance in the final.
- Do you follow your next Europa League knockout phase opponents?
- Yes, I do. Eintracht are the uncompromising team playing in a strong league. They have many top players in the squad. Shakhtar are facing very difficult fixtures.
- Will the fans’ support play an important role?
- Of course, it will. Taking advantage of the moment, I want to wish our fans a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, I want them to always be with the team, their support is important to us! Together, we will claim some great victories and win new trophies.
