- We were getting ready for the game in the ordinary course. I’m sure all performers are willing to play. I want fans to come and support us tomorrow. This is the end of football year and everyone’s tired. I hope the match will be interesting for spectators and they’ll fill the stadium. That will give the team confidence.
- Is suspension of Dragović a problem for you? How are you going to cope with it?
- The situation isn’t easy, but we’ll find the substitution. Players, who’ll tell the field must do their best on the pitch.
- Mbokani made a substitute appearance in the match against FC Metalurh Zaporizhia. Is he ready to play?
- Of course he isn’t completely ready. As he got 10-15 minutes of game practice he worked hard. Still he’s been training for only three weeks. I can’t use him in such important matches so far. We are to play four more games and we must be ready for each of them. I hope Mbokani understands that. Believe me, he’ll play when he regains his best conditions.
- What’s wrong with Harmash? Is that true that he won’t be able to play till spring?
- We hope for the best. He’s had arthroscopy. We hope he’ll recover soon. Doctors say that will take at least two months. We all care about Denys. He is a talented young player, Ukraine international.
- What conclusions did you make after victory in Portugal?
- There are always some mistakes. After that Rio Ave played many games. Two players will skip the fixture against Dynamo. Of course we’ve analyzed enough Portuguese side matches. We’ve pointed out their defense problems and good attacks. This will be one of the most important games of the season. Victory will take us to the knock-out stage. Still our aim is to win the group.
- Will frosty weather have any impact of the game?
- The weather will be equally cold for both sides. Once again I ask fans to come and support us. It’s frosty, but we all love football and our team.
- How tired are players after international matches and fixtures in different competitions?
- Performers are tired both physically and psychologically, but they want to play. They have a desire to win every game. There’s competing in the team. I’m sure they’ll bear two more weeks.
