- How did the weather impact the game?
- This is the best football weather (smiling). Last year it was fine at this time of the year, but this time we were unlucky. There’s no time to postpone UPL games due to upcoming European Championship.
- Have you had an effective training camp? Does anything bother you?
- In first friendlies it was important to estimate players’ fitness. Second aspect was game organization from the point of view of tactics. I applied significant lineup rotation. I also paid attention to our performers’ attitude and professionalism. The fourth aspect was motivation. The final game against BATE was like an official match.
- Zabarnyi was absent today. Is he injured?
- I hope to see him at the training session on Monday. These days he worked individually at the gym. He’s got his knee hurt, but doctor says Zabarnyi will rejoin the team on Monday.
- Polish media say Shabanov and Rusyn can join Legia…
- Artem missed a lot due to injury. It was hard for him to get accustomed to the game rhythm. He needs to play at his age. I promised I would let him go to Warsaw. He did well against Legia at the training camp, so maybe they spotted him. Anyway we’re talking about three-month loan move.
Rusyn? Legia are decent European team that fights for the league title. They want to see Rusyn in their lineup. He needs to feel the European level of football. I think this will benefit him.
