Yevhen Konoplyanka: “I feel like I'm getting in shape”

One of the leaders of the national team, Schalke midfielder Yevhen Konoplyanka, is always an example of concentration and dedication to the game.

Here and at this meeting Yevhen Konoplyanka is among the most active both during trainings and in the organization of physical activity between them. Immediately after the evening session, the midfielder was ready to answer questions from the press service of the national team.

How do you feel after an intense workout?  

- To tell the truth, a lot of forces were spent today, it was a busy day. In the morning - fitness, stabilization, then - tennis (this is my individual job to strengthen physical condition). And in the evening we spent quite purposeful training - on physics, on tactics and in general on everything that is necessary. Just a super workout! I feel like I'm getting in shape.

Intensity of training a sign of this part of the collection. However, despite the busy classes, you find an opportunity to organize guys for all kinds of competitions, diversifying the work. Mini golf, tennis ... It is noticeable that you like to play…

- Yes, for about three years now, I do not like to sleep at lunch, watch TV or sit on the phone. I love an intense life. I try to offer someone to compete on non-football fields. Who agrees to play - I'm always "for".

Ahead of us a tough match against the Serbs. What are your expectations for this match?

- Serbs are a very serious opponent. During the season, we talked almost every day on the topic of this match with my teammate and friend Matiya Nastasych, exchanged views, talking about our team and theirs. As a result, we estimated the chances of the teams as 50 to 50. This is the conclusion we came to. They have top players, just like us. I believe that everything is in our hands. It all depends on how we adjust and how we prepare in all aspects - I will not list them now. If we are ready, we will achieve our goal.

And then - we have a small advantage: we play at home…

- This is one hundred percent! We haven't played in Lviv for a long time, I hope the fans missed us as much as we missed them. So I believe that the 12th player will drive us forward!
