Bogdan Butko. Photo — zarya-lugansk.com- Do youagree that the game against Chornomorets was one of the best for Zorya in spring?
- I think so. How many chances we created at Varakuta's goal. We failed to realise three(!) one-on-one chances with the goalkeeper. We had 20 shots. We had four attacking players against two opponents. We gave the wrong pass, or something else. I don't understand how it happens.
- You had an excellent tip on the football field....
- That's the way it should be. If I do not demand from my partners, then how to achieve results? We want to achieve results in every game. It is not allowed to walk and sleep on the football field.
- Roman Grigorchuk showed a lot of emotions, as you did...
- He is a demanding coach. It should be so.
- How do you like Jordan's game?
- He played a phenomenal match. Killer! In the first round, we had a year's worth of goals. Now, in the spring, if I'm not mistaken, it's our fourth zero-goal game.
- What did your coaches talk about after the meeting?
- Everyone understood the price of this meeting. We have two games with Shakhtar ahead of us.
- Are the games with Shakhtar crucial for you?
- Yes. These games are both important and crucial. I am Shakhtar's pupil, I managed to play there for several years. It is always interesting to face such masters. I periodically communicate with some of the guys from Shakhtar.
- Did you remember the Cup defeat in Odessa before this game?
- No, but that game was very important. I did not play then, because of an injury. There are no passing games. You always have to give your best.
