Head coach of Cherkasy LNZ Oleg Dulub told about the expectations of the match of his team with Shakhtar Donetsk in the 11th round of the Ukrainian championship, which will be held tomorrow in Lviv.

"The mood is combative. We worked productively during the October break in the UPL, I am satisfied with the sparring sessions with the youth and main squad of Chornomorets.

How much will the changes in Shakhtar's coaching staff help us? It is difficult to say. I generally believe that the role of the coach in the team does not exceed 25 per cent. The fate of the clash is still decided by the players.

With all due respect to Darijo Srna (Shakhtar's acting head coach - editor's note), as a player and a functionary, he had no time in the position of the acting head coach to introduce something of his own or to play some new schemes on an emergency basis. At the moment, the only plus in his arrival at the helm of Shakhtar is that the charges will be more motivated. We are ready for it," Dulub said.
