Zhytomyr Polissya midfielder Oleksiy Hutsulyak spoke about the team's readiness for the match against Shakhtar.
Oleksiy Gutsulyak- "It's always difficult to start with such a game, but I think that maybe somewhere these games will go in our favor. We lost in the European Cups and maybe it will come back somewhere, it took away there and will give back here. I think it will be a good match. But there is nothing difficult here, so it will be an interesting match. "Shakhtar is a good team, but we also have a good team. It will be a good match.
We were already a bit tired mentally and physically. But it's okay, I think we were a little bit depressed that we lost the first and second games, we played by the score, but not by the game. Now we've come home and recovered a bit, they gave us two days to rest. We can say that we have recovered.
I think that the team's attitude will play a big role, how everyone will adjust. Tactically, I think we will understand everything. If we are determined to fight and not lose duels, show our strengths, there will be no problems. The main thing is not to be afraid," Hutsulyak's words are quoted by Polissya's official website.
