Jose Flores: Karpaty is an intense, aggressive team, similar to us in terms of playing style

Bolivian midfielder of Kryvyi Rih Kryvbas Jose Flores – about tomorrow’s away match of the 12th round of the UPL against Lviv Karpaty.

- Jose, how would you describe the current mood of the team before the trip to Lviv?

- In fact, there is a calm atmosphere in the team. All the guys are working well, they are positive. We are going to Lviv with a good mood and a desire to return from there with three points.

- Ahead is a difficult match against Karpaty. What, in your opinion, will be decisive in the game?

- The coaching staff showed us several videos of the opponent’s games during the week. We know that Karpaty is an intense, aggressive team, similar to us in terms of playing style. But the coach is doing a very good job, and all the guys have adapted well to his requirements. I am sure that we will have a strong match.

- Your daughter recently turned one. How much do your family and daughter motivate you on the field now?

- I miss my family a lot, because sometimes it's hard to be away from your loved ones. But that's our profession: you have to hold on and keep working. My family and daughter motivate me a lot, and I try to be as prepared as possible so that when I get a chance, I don't let the coach down.

- You've been on our team for over three months. Tell me about your adaptation to the team.

- I actually found a common language with the guys very quickly. We have a great atmosphere, and it helped me that there are many teammates who speak my language. I'm already used to living in another city, in Bolivia I also played for a team that wasn't my native one, so it's not a problem for me. The main thing is to continue working and show my best on the field.
