Yelyzaveta Molodiuk, forward:
– We have responsible approach to the clash, all of us understand its importance. Besides, rivalry with the experienced team that have become the champions more than once motivates us. Postponement of this match should benefit us because we had more time to prepare. We can achieve a positive result only provided that we have compactness and coordination on every centimetre of the football pitch.
