Denys Popov. Photo — Yu. Yurieva— Denys, there was a lot of struggle today...
— This is football, struggle is normal. The main thing is that the referees allow us to play. Of course, we prepared and analyzed the opponent’s game before this match. Every game is very important for us, and three points are golden.
— It seemed that today there was not just a lot of struggle, but the opponent was trying to "hook" you. You personally even communicated with them at times.
— On the field, everyone is brave to talk, but in other places, when we meet in life, they talk differently. Perhaps they wanted to provoke, but it won’t work.
— The next match in the UPL is very difficult — away to Kryvyi Rih to face "Kryvbas". Do you need to prepare yourself not only for the game but also morally?
— It is very hard to perceive all this news, to realize what has actually happened. I think we will be ready for this match, yes, it is currently dangerous in the city, but these are the conditions now, we need to play. We will definitely go and play.
