The "Shakhtar" goalkeeper placed between the posts in the international friendly vs France has felt able to talk to the press.

—     Andriy, none of the hosts ever conceded four goals at the Donbass Arena…

—     It is football and anything may happen.

—     Do you have any complaints against defenders or even yourself?

—     It is not up to me to decide. Our manager should analyze it.

—     Were not you surprised with a very few people coming to the stadium?

—     Actually, I expected such a situation, as it was a workday… Though I would like to see more supporters in the stands.

—     Do the stands always catch your eye, when you step into the pitch?

—     Of course, always!

—     Have you already known about Rybka?

—     Yeah.

—     Is he a rival for you now?

—     It is good, actually. We will work together, and the coaches will choose.

—     Within the last five minutes you have felt a lack of concentration and strength…

—     No-no, it was a second goal effect, unfortunately…

—     The ball was covered by a defender and you did not see a striking moment…

—     Right. Besides you saw the shots just whizzing through with your own eyes … Tymoshchuk struck something similar. It seemed the goal disrupted our spirit. Still we had to go on playing till the end.

—     Was Blokhin angry with his men?

—     No, he has kept it inside. But it was obvious he was disappointed. Still he wished good luck to everyone.
