The calendar is interesting, the championship is interesting, so we need to bring all the boys up to be ready to help the team.

- Today, despite the status of a friendly match, quite good goals were scored. Which one did you like the most?

- The first goal by Lytvynenko was very nice. Kalitvintsev's goal was also good because there was a good combination. I would like to see more goals like that in our matches.
