– How do you feel ahead of the match and how would you describe the opponents? (terrikon.com)
– Every match is important for us and tomorrow’s is no exception. We must do everything to secure a win, as we need to maintain our rhythm. We recently beat Dynamo in the last game, but the Conference League is also very important for us. I hope we can do everything necessary to win tomorrow.
– In their last match, Shakhtar defeated Dynamo and are currently leading the Ukrainian Premier League, so the team must be in high spirits. How does this factor affect your preparation for tomorrow’s meeting? (Shakhtar TV)
– Of course, every game against Dynamo is special. A match between Dynamo and Shakhtar always has the status of a derby, and this victory was very important. The game wasn’t easy, but we managed to secure the win at the end. This match definitely boosted our confidence, and participating in the Conference League is no less important for us. I hope we will do everything to win tomorrow.
– The previous Conference League match ended with a result that was not very pleasant for Shakhtar. What lessons have the team learned and what do you plan to change in your play? (Shakhtar TV)
– Of course, in football there are both disappointing and positive matches. But after games like that, we need to focus on the positive and take from them any useful lessons we can. At the same time, that match took place two or three weeks ago. Since then, we have worked hard and done everything necessary to prepare and focus on tomorrow. The game against Legia is already behind us; now we are only thinking about tomorrow. We want to secure three points and will do everything possible to win.
– What are the team’s objectives for this season and what personal goals have you set for yourself? (Kavunovyi Futbol project)
– That’s a very good question. First and foremost, it is always a great honour for me to be here at such a big club as Shakhtar. I constantly strive to do everything possible for the team and for our coach, aiming to show my best in every aspect and to demonstrate the best Alaa to everyone. God willing, we will win many titles and trophies, and I will try to give my all for Shakhtar.
