Oleksandr Yatsyk. Photo: M. Lozovyi (ua-football.com)- Congratulations on your victory. How did you manage to beat Minaya?
- Due to teamwork. We carefully analysed the opponent's game. We had enough motivation to win. You know where we are in the standings, so we just wanted to win.
- Minaj had a good start to the spring part of the championship. A win over Metalist 1925 and a draw with Dnipro-1. Were these results unexpected?
- "Minaj looked good in those games. The players from Uzhhorod deserved these 4 points.
- Did Denys Antiukh's first goal help Zorya?
- Yes, it did. The coaching staff asked us to score the first goal as soon as possible. We had to take control of the game.
- Why hasn't your strongest striker, Eduardo Guerrero, scored yet this spring?
- I don't know. He is a hard-working footballer. So far, he hasn't managed to score a goal, but I think he will be able to score in the next games.
- Your next match is against Dynamo Kyiv. In what mode will you prepare for this meeting?
- On Friday we will have a recovery training session. Then we will prepare for the match, which will take place on Tuesday.
- Does Zorya have a chance to win this match?
- Of course. The ball is round and the pitch is flat.
- What do you think of the pitch at the Livyi Berehir stadium, where you played against Minaj?
- The pitch is very soft. Towards the end of the match, the pitch became even worse.
