- Were you getting ready for the game on artificial turf in any special way?
- We weren’t. We’ll test this field today.
- Last year Shakhtar won at home, but lost in Bern and tumbled out of the Champions League…
- A lot has changed. We were getting ready for this match as we usually do. We had theory classes and worked on tactics.
- What conclusions did you make after the first leg? What’s you plan for the forthcoming match? Are all players okay?
- We’ve shown players what our problems were in the first leg. So far I can’t say what happens tomorrow as we haven’t picked the first eleven yet. We have some lineup issues.
- Why hasn’t Moraes come?
- He has problems with abdominal ring and it will take him about 10 days to recover.
- Speaking about lineup issues you meant Sydorchuk and Khacheridi?
- That’s right. I hope nothing bad happens today. As for these guys, they should tell us whether they’re ready to play.
- What are the main peculiarities of Swiss teams?
- I remember Belarus national team match against Switzerland, when we were two goals behind by the 15th minute. We must be totally ready. Dedication and attitude are decisive on the field.
- Today it’s three years to the day since Valentyn Belkevych passed away. Could you please remind your players of that so that they performed with dedication just like Belkevych did…
- Yesterday coaches and players were at the cemetery. They know what kind of player and captain Valentyn Belkevych was. There’s no need to remind performers of that. Everyone knows how important the forthcoming game is.
