Defender of "Metalist 1925" Ilya Krupsky talked about returning from the location of the Ukrainian youth national team, and also shared expectations for the game against "Kudrivka":
– Ilya, first of all, you returned from the location of the youth national team. Tell us what was happening there, what emotions did you have after returning to the club?
– Great emotions, it's nice to represent your country at the international level. Of course, we didn't achieve the result we expected, but it's okay. We will draw conclusions and hope to qualify for the European Championship.
– How difficult is it to switch back to club football after matches with the national team?
– Not difficult at all. The most challenging part is probably the travel back and forth because it takes a lot of time. But the most pleasant thing is that you represent your country and always come back in a good mood after the national team. And now we are preparing for the continuation of the championship with a good mood.
– The next match is against "Kudrivka". What can you say about this opponent, what strengths do you highlight in their game?
– They are not afraid to play football and play well at home at "Obolon". "Kudrivka" is a good opponent, and I expect a good match. Tomorrow we will understand exactly how we will press and how we will act.
– "Kudrivka" is a team that has many experienced players. How do matches against such teams stand out?
– Indeed, they have many experienced players who have played many matches in the UPL. They are not afraid to play football and always work hard for the ball. So, I repeat: it will be a good match.
