Assistant to the head coach of FC Sheriff Dmitro Kara-Mustafa about the match of the 28th tour against FC Sfintul Gheorghe:

 

- Was the rehearsal before the Cup final successful?

- I think yes. We think Sfintul Gheorghe will play this formation again with 5 defenders, 4 midfielders and one forward. Basically, they defended well. It is also difficult for European top clubs to open such a massive defense. We had chances in the first half - no more than two or three good chances. In the second half, when they scored, there was space. Could bring the game to a higher score. I think, plus or minus, the ending will be the same.

 

- Will Yuri Vernidub return to the team?

- This is not a question for me, you will excuse me. We have management.

 

- Are you still staying?

- I'm telling you - it's all about management. So far I have no questions on this subject. If possible, about the game.

 

- Are strengthenings expected before European competitions?

- Of course, there will be reinforcements.

 

- Who will leave the team? Which are already known?

- Is it known? So far no one.

 

- Was it written about Adam Traore?

- Well, Adama Traore, maybe. I do not have this information. I'm telling you - everything to the manegement of the club.

 

- Tell me, the opponent had a lot of indignation, both in terms of the game and refereeing...

- I'll say that he opponent slowed down the pace, lay a lot on the field - so the game was often interrupted. In principle, a normal fighting game.

 

- You have the second Championship with FC Sheriff. Last year after half of the season, and now from the beginning to the end held. How do you feel about the full season, especially with European competitions to boot?

- We have another task for the 21st. As for the Championship, it's certainly nice. A very big contribution to these victories was made by head coach Yuri Vernidub. And in the Champions League we had fun. It was nice for us and for the fans.

 

- Cup game is ahead. We remember that last year everything was decided in a penalty shootout. What do you think about the upcoming finale?

- Mood. I think both teams will be in the most combative mood. Everything will be decided on the football field. Naturally, every team wants to win the Cup. We didn't succeed last year, but we'll do our best this year.
