Together with Andriy Shevchenko on press conference, dedicated to tomorrow's match with the national team of Slovakia, answered the questions of the media representatives blue-yellow midfielder Yevhen Konoplyanka.

- We are the fifth we have been meeting with Slovakia in recent years. Which one of these matches is memorable'did you get hurt most?

- First of all, I remembered that we, as a rule, do not concede to this team. We will follow this tradition. Tomorrow's match is also important.

- As you know, you are one of those who are responsible for a positive mood in the team. Today is Viktor Tsygankov's birthday. How do you greet him?

- A surprise for Tsygankov will be waiting on the field during training. We have already prepared it.

- You are one of the leaders of the national team. Yarmolenko and Marlos will not be on the field tomorrow. Do you feel in the so-called'how about that extra responsibility?

- Of course, it will be difficult without them. But I want to emphasize that there is no need to divide the team into leaders and everyone else. We have a single team.
