Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih midfielder Denys Kuzyk spoke about his preparations for the Ukrainian Premier League matchday 19 against Shakhtar Donetsk.
- What is the team's mood before the important match?
- We are preparing on a positive note, as we won the opening spring match. We are preparing for Shakhtar very seriously. It will be a very interesting game for the fans. In Oleksandriia, the opponent was content with a draw, so they will probably come out with double motivation to earn three points. But there will be no such thing with Kryvbas, we are determined to fight and win.
- Shakhtar have played more official matches this year due to the European Cups. Is this the opponent's trump card?
- Let's see. They have a good team with strong performers. It will be very interesting to play against them.
- In the last round, you scored a beautiful goal again. Did you get a lot of congratulations on that?
- A lot of people congratulated me, to be honest. I will continue to do everything I can to please the fans with a good game and good goals in such a difficult time for our country.
- Is the upcoming match a central one in Matchday 19?
- Without a doubt. A lot of fans will be watching our match. We can say that it will be a game for important championship points.
