Midfielder Gornyakov – about the victory over Victoria in the quarterfinals of the National Cup
Shakhtar’s central midfielder Yegor Nazarina started the big victory for the orange-and-blacks over Victoria. This is his third goal scored this season.
— Egor, what are the main conclusions that can be drawn after the end of this match?
— The most important thing is that we won and advanced to the semifinals. We also wanted to demonstrate the principles of the game that our new mentor requires of us.
— After your goal, your partners began to shoot at Shelikhov’s goal from different distances, often from afar. Did you feel unsure of his actions?
– I wouldn’t say that. I have known Shelikhov for a long time, we played together in the Dnieper. That’s how it happened. He probably didn’t see the moment of my shot on goal.
— You were often hit on the legs by Victoria players. How are you feeling now?
– Everything is fine.
— What are your impressions of working with the new head coach?
— The basic principles in the game that we must follow are build-up, high pressing. You also always need to play smart. We like this style of play. But we are also getting used to the new demands of Marino Pusic.
– Ahead of Shakhtar match in the Premier League against Dynamo. How will you prepare for this meeting?
— Tomorrow we have a day off, but now, after the match with Victoria, we are starting to prepare for this important game. Another derby awaits us on Friday. We are Shakhtar and we always want to win, especially in such a status match. We will try to show our best football and achieve a positive result.
