Shakhtar midfielder speaks about the upcoming away clash with Tavriya.
- Henrikh, before the match with Chelsea you exuded optimism and confidence. Do you still retain this mood before the encounter with Tavriya? - Yes, I do! We are facing the game with a very good opposition. Definitely, it won’t be easy, especially as it will be an away match. As usual, everyone gets maximally tuned for the game with Shakhtar, and the fact that we play once in three or four days will pose an additional challenge to us.
- Well, won’t there be any motivation problems after the Champions League game? - No, we approach it in a great mood, because after victories you return to your form faster and it’s easier to switch from one game to another.
- What were your first memories of the encounters with the Crimeans? - The fact that they are always hard for us to cope with. I remember our last game in Simferopol, when we snatched the win only in the dying minutes. I am sure that this time Tavriya will fight up to the last ditch, and we’ll have to try very hard to win.
