Oleksandr Andrievsky

- How difficult was the game against Karpaty?

- It was only difficult because we conceded a goal in the first minute. In general, the game was given, we created chances for goals.

- Was it difficult to start the game with a 0-1 score?

- Morally, yes, we have just started the game and are already losing 0-1. In addition, the weather made its own adjustments, it was very hot.

- Did you know about the lineup rotation in advance?

- The coach always tells everyone to get ready, because we have a lot of matches - European Cups, the Ukrainian Championship. So we knew there would be some rotation.

- Is it hard to play away all the time?

- It is always harder to play away than at home. But now there are intense European Cup matches, and it is, of course, easier for us to get to Lviv than to Kyiv. It's convenient now.

- Did the newcomer to the UPL, Karpaty, surprise you with anything?

- I liked the way they played - combination football, forward play.

- With the score 2-1, did it become easier to play?

- On the contrary, Karpaty gradually seized the initiative, and it was difficult for a while. I won't say that they had any super moments, but they were pushing.

- The match against Salzburg is already on Wednesday. Are you already thinking about this match?

- This is a super team that plays in the group stage of the Champions League every year, so we are preparing for a tough game.
