The head coach of «Epicenter» Sergey Nagornyak spoke about «Shakhtar» and «Dynamo», with whom his team will play in theUkrainian championship in August (in the 1st and 3rd rounds respectively).
Sergey Nagornyak— Sergey Nikolaevich, «Epicenter» will play its first match of the new UPL season against «Shakhtar». Did you take anything away from the Donetsk team’s game against «Ilves» (6:0)?
— Well, I watched. It is clear that the level of players at «Shakhtar» is very good. But what I noticed there, I will not say. It will be a tough match, I repeat. The Brazilians did everything they wanted in the match against «Ilves». I did not see why the Finns could oppose «Shakhtar».
— In the new UPL season, will «Epicenter» play home matches in Ternopil?
— We will start in Ternopil. At the same time, I hope that work will be done at our stadium. Yes, of course, I would like to play at my home stadium in front of my fans. Well, it’s okay! Ternopil is not far from us. It’s a good stadium. I think people will come and watch. Moreover, the first match is against «Shakhtar». I believe that the maximum number of people will come to this match, based on how many are possible.
— How do you evaluate the start of «Dynamo»’s training camp? Supryaga scored for the first time in a long time! How can they approach the European cups? And «Epicenter» will play against the Kyivans in August!
— To be honest, I am focused on my team. We will play against «Dynamo» in three rounds. When we have a game with them, then we will pay attention.
Supryaga? He hasn’t played for years. He needs, in my opinion, to find some team where he will simply be trusted. He needs to regain his playing form. That’s how I see it. There is no other way.
— So, a loan is likely to suit him?
— I cannot judge. He just needs to play. Play, play, and play again. He has already been forgotten. How long has he not performed? He needs to play!
