– Sergey Nikolaevich, how did you evaluate the finals of the Cup of Ukraine, in which Shakhtar beat Dynamo on a penalty?
– A good finale was intrigue. The fans saw the main time of the match, extra time and a series of penalties. There was a flat game with a minimum of goal moments.
– A penalty series is a logical completion of such a match?
– Probably yes. Shakhtar was a little successful in this series of eleven meters. But to be honest, the game was absolutely flat. Ukrainian football players played for Dynamo, and half of Shakhtar was a legionnaire.
– Sergey Rebrov was in the stands. For him, some answers to the questions appeared after this finale?
– Perhaps they appeared. He saw who played at what level. He looked at the game of collections and candidates for the national team of Ukraine. I think he got some answers to the questions.
– Do you, as the head coach of the Epicenter, are already looking at your future rivals from UPL, namely Shakhtar and Dynamo? Something was taken out of this match?
– It is clear that playing with Dynamo and Shakhtar is always very difficult, because these are the leaders of our football. And Shakhtar is also a club that allows you to buy expensive football players. It seems to me that Shakhtar is satisfied after this victory in the Cup of Ukraine, because they will be able to play in the Europa League, not in the League of Conferences. After the conferences, few people can sell in the League. The Europa League is a different level. It is much higher and there are famous teams play. In the Europa League matches, it will be easier to illuminate and sell players. The Europa League is a completely different level.
– Now the media is actively writing that Napoli is ready to buy George Sudakov from Shakhtar!
– You just have to release Sudakov.
– Do you think it is better to sell George to the Donetsk club?
– Of course, it is better to sell. He is already all in Europe. It just needs to be released. The guy needs to develop. Sudakov needs to be sold.
– And what do you think, Sudak “Napoli” will fit the style if Antonio Conte remains the head coach?
-Sudakov any European team will fit. He is a young guy, he is 22 years old. George needs to be developed.
