We’ll get prepared for Zorya

- Valerii, the main topic of the last few days is the postponement of the match against Rukh. How did the team react to the news?
- They accepted the current situation understandingly. We respect the opposing team, and no one in the world is immune from this these days. I think the organizers did the right thing. We will be preparing for September 20 when we’ll have a really serious match against Zorya.

- It turns out that for nearly a month Shakhtar won’t have any competitive games. How can this affect the team’s form?
- I don't think it will affect the team. Both those guys who didn’t go on international duty and those who went there, were given some time to rest. Everyone has rebooted, and now we are tuning into the Premier League games. In every game we need to claim three points.
 
- What has changed in your training? What’s the atmosphere in the team?
- Many guys have returned from their national teams now, and we need to remember some tactical things that we practised. The atmosphere in the team is good. Even while jogging in a circle, everyone jokes and smiles a lot.
