"Shakhtar" goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov has talked on the clash vs "Metalurh" D.

— A new coach has recently arrived at "Metalurh". Will it influence much the players’ psychology and motivation?

— Such things always have their influence – good or bad – we will see it on Saturday!

— Last matchday "Metalurh" went down 1-5 to "Arsenal" Kyiv. What is the reason in your opinion?

— It is hard to say, as I still saw only the match highlights.  We will analyze this game a bit later. I am a player and I do not like to judge my colleagues and partners on their actions. It is up to other people to make conclusions. But what I can say for sure is that the side of such a level as "Metalurh" took a 1-5 defeat as a severe blow to their pride.

— Talking about the race for top spots: there are many squads in the middle of the tournament table striving for appearance in the UEFA Champions League…

—  Yes. I do not which has got more chances, but I personally root for "Vorskla"! (Laughs.)
