Interest in cup confrontation between the team "Real Pharma" from Odessa and Vinnytsia "Niva" warmed up by the fact that the leader of Vinnytsia Denis Kolchin once faithfully served Odessa "Chernomorets" and "Pearl" in the role of footballer and coach, respectively. And, of course, he was pleased to celebrate the victory over an unyielding opponent in his hometown…

- This was the first official match of the season, and it's nice that it ended in our favor, - said the coach. - Especially since it took a lot of effort to tip the scales in their favor, because the hosts put up stubborn resistance. Although the advantage of the number of created moments was on the side of "Niva", and in general we controlled the course of events on the field. And if it was hot near our gates, it was only after the draw of standard provisions - the skate of Odessa. Still, we should make a discount on the fact that many recruits played for Niva, and we still lacked teamwork. But, fortunately, we kept our gates intact.

— Are you satisfied with the newcomers?

- Yes, they proved the coincidence of their invitation to Vinnytsia. Currently, 20 football players are training under my auspices, I count on all of them, although I do not rule out that we will still have a replenishment.

- Has the club management already specified the task for the season?

- We are professionals and must do our job well. That's why we will try to win every match, and at the finish we will see what happens.

- Today there will be a draw of the second preliminary round of the Cup of Ukraine, where the participants will already include teams of the first league. Who would you like to see as your rival?

- Does not matter. The main thing is that "Niva" acted as the owner.
