The authors of the sensation in this year's Ukrainian Cup have been Agrobiznes players from Volochysk, who in the quarterfinal forced Shakhtar Donetsk to go from the distance for the trophy.

- We had enough time to approach confrontation with the miners psychologically stable, - said the head coach of "Agribusiness" Alexander Chizhevsky in a comment to the official website of the UAF. - After all, we can recall many cases when footballers, seeing rivals in the form of the same Shakhtar, went out on the field doomed. This did not happen to my wards.

As you know, in cup competitions there must be a winner. Apparently, Donetsk residents threatened our gates more often, after all, it is not by chance that they were considered favorites. However, it cannot be said that their superiority was undeniable. We acted with five midfielders, who not only managed to put high pressure, but also went on the offensive at the first opportunity. And yet they endured, waited for their goal moment, which decided the fate of the pass to the semifinals! We continue to write history, because the players of "Agribusiness" have not come so far in the cup tournament.

Who did you want to compete with next? You know, at this stage, the weak counterpart can no longer be. And yet I was not against Alexandria becoming an opponent of Agribusiness. And not only because I am impressed by the style of "citizens", their fighting spirit. There would just be another opportunity to meet with the head coach of Alexandria Volodymyr Sharan - my godfather.

But today the draw chose another great for our rivals - Dynamo. You know, frankly, after the quarterfinals with Shakhtar you can be ready for anything. Dynamo are the same people, with their achievements and miscalculations, so you just have to play football. And remember that when you demonstrate your best qualities, the seemingly impossible becomes a reality ...
