– The mood is very positive, because finally the official games have waited. We will try to give the maximum.
– It is not so easy to enter the season from the European Cups. For the second year in a row, Polesie has been starting. How much is the meeting for such matches? Maybe I would like to have a few UPL duels before?
– I think there is no difference where we start – in the championship or in the European Cups. We prepared well, had strong rivals at the meeting. This is very important. Last season we were preparing in Ukraine, this time – abroad, and the preparation was of high quality.
– You said at one time you did not celebrate goals. If you can score in the conference league, perhaps even the debut ball of the team in the season – there will be some special celebration?
– But you laugh at me. I do not celebrate, because I just don’t kill (smiles). [Репліка Руслана Ротаня: «Правильний натяк – треба забивати»]. If possible, the celebration will be normal. The most important thing is that the team goes on and all.
– This is not the first European season for you in Polesie. How much has the atmosphere in the team changed? Do you feel more responsible as a captain?
– Honestly, I do not feel that there is more responsibility for me. The coaching staff assumes everything. Even when we are a little nervous in training, they soothe us, adjust. The team was very charged, everyone was waiting for official matches. Looking forward to tomorrow.
– What was the main lesson from the last European Cup experience? What would you like to repeat?
– It is difficult to say, because now we have a new coaching staff, new requirements, a new approach. But I remember well how last season in the first match lost 0: 1, ran to play and immediately missed the second. This cannot be done.
