Giovany Herbert: All our thoughts are on the trip to Zhytomyr

Giovany Herbert, the Panamanian midfielder for Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, discusses preparations for the UPL Matchday 7 away game against Polissya Zhytomyr.

- Giovany, how do you rate the team's preparation for the match against Polissya?

- I believe we’ve prepared very well for the upcoming clash. We had another excellent training session today, so now all our thoughts are on the trip to Zhytomyr and the game itself. We want to put in a good performance and return home with a win.

- Which aspects of the game do you think will be particularly important in this upcoming match?

- Concentration, aggression in winning back possession, and confidence and character when on the ball will be especially important. We need to show our identity, stick to our style, and play our own brand of football.

- This match will be special for you, as your former teammate Andrusw Araujo plays for Polissya. Are you looking forward to this meeting?

- That’s true. It will be nice to see him and face him on the pitch.

- How important is it to stay focused on your own tasks before the game and not get distracted by the opponent?

- Before every match, we try to prepare as thoroughly as possible so we’re ready for any situation during the game. Right now, the main thing is to translate everything we’ve worked on in training into the match itself and do everything possible to secure the three points.
