Interview with Shakhtar defender Yukhym Konoplia after the match against Rukh (2-0)
– Yukhym, congratulations on the victory! Was it difficult to recover from the previous match and prepare for this showdown?
– Yes, but it was necessary to do it in order to have the desired result. As you can see, the game turned out to be very difficult. It is good that we managed to score two goals in the first half, and it helped to achieve victory.
– You were recently called up to the Ukraine national team, but today you were removed from the list. How can you comment on that?
– I have an injury that needs treatment. I talked to our coaches and national team coaches and we decided that I will stay at the club to recover.
– What exactly bothers you and how long will it take to recover?
– This is an old problem that has been bothering me since last year. Today was an important match, so I played after an injection. I hope this break will be enough for me to recover. Unfortunately, I will not be able to help the national team, but I wish the team success and will sincerely support them.
