— I perceived this decision very positively. Given how football is developing here, it’s a big plus. The pitch is perfect, the atmosphere is perfect, so it is right that they are doing this.
— In the new season, they want to eliminate extra time in the Cup matches and go straight to penalties. What do you think about this decision?
— This will save energy; you don’t play an additional 30 minutes, but go straight to penalties. The players will have more time to recover before the next match.
