"I feel well now," said Aldonin after shaking off his injury. "I train with others and have almost restored my best form."

"But still I do understand that I have to adapt to the game again. And one can do it only in one way - constantly playing in the official matches."

"I was ready to enter the game before in the first game with Shakhtar but Zico told me not to rush fences and fully recover at first. And in the match against Saturn I joined the game in the second half."

"I cannot say whether I am going to play in Donetsk. Only the head coach can answer this question."

"Of course I am looking forward to helping my team in this match. For the game will be very important."

"The UEFA Cup quarterfinals are at stake and Shakhtar is a very serious opponent, it is always interesting to test one's powers in such a game."

"In Donetsk the Ukrainian team will probably start offensive actions at once I assume. After all the team is playing at home, on the native turf. And moreover they have to win back one goal conceded in Luzhniki."

"But we are not going to burrow in defence - it is not our style. You should not doubt that the game would be spectacular and very tense."
