![](assets/images/o-lch-1440-630-1.jpg)
According to the results of the draw of the Women's Champions League in the first round we got "PFC Lokomotiv" (Bulgaria). Also in our group "St. Polten" (Austria) and FC "Lyubotin" (Macedonia). How do you rate your opponents?
- You know how I always answer this question: we did not choose. We will play with that opponent no matter what. In short, it could be better or worse. Could have gotten Italian "Juventus" and the Dutch "Twente". Of course, St. Pölten, the champion of Austria, stands apart here. The team of this country made it to the final of the European Championship and this already says a lot. Now we are studying Lokomotiv. Not much information actually. Before the Champions League many clubs remove information from their websites. During the national team training camp we found out that they had signed an attacker from Apollon (Cyprus).
What about Lyubotin?
I think 80 to 20%. 80% I'm sure that St. Pölten will win. Therefore we are looking for information about this team. Perhaps we will connect the club's analytical team to help us collect this information.
If we compare the draws of last year and this one, which one is better for us?
- Only games will show, in my opinion.
We play in Macedonia, what do you think about this place in terms of logistics and in general how friendly is the atmosphere there?
- You know, one advantage, in my opinion, is that we will not get on the hosts. If we played in Austria or Bulgaria, then naturally one of these teams would be the hosts. It is always very difficult to play against the hosts. There are many nuances, including with refereeing. On the other hand, the heat will be incredible.
Will there be some kind of strengthening for our girls?
- It's hard to say, we have an options, we consider the attacking player the most...To be honest, I am not yet ready to say yes or no.
Now all attention is to the Belarus Cup and the domestic championship?
- Yes, of course, we arrived with the national team very tired. Tired of constant flights, climate change. For two or three days, I was recovering from this trip.
