On Saturday at the "Bukovyna" stadium in Chernivtsi, there will be a match of the 18th round of the First League of Ukraine, where the local team "Bukovyna" will face NK "Proboy". The forward of the Chernivtsi team, Andrii Andriichuk, shared his impressions on the preparation for the final match of the year, in which his team seeks to solidify its leadership in the standings.

Andrii noted that the first part of the season is coming to an end and shared his feelings about the swift passage of time: "To be honest, it's hard to believe that the first round is already finishing. At the same time, I am glad because it's clear that the guys are a bit worn out, mainly emotionally, so a break will be very appropriate."

Before the match against NK "Proboy", the atmosphere in the team remained positive, which, according to Andriichuk, is associated with the approach of the last game of the year: "Most of the guys are a bit 'out of emotions' due to accumulated fatigue, so this week was dedicated to restoring our mood."

I always try to help the team, and it's important that my actions brought results," emphasized the footballer.

Regarding the lineup of NK "Proboy", Andrii noted: "In the first part of the season, we played against them in a real goal thriller, winning 4:3. I expect we will see something similar again. Unfortunately, the condition of the field is not the best, but we are ready for a fight."

The forward called on fans to support the team in the last match of the year: "We are very happy to see the stands of our home stadium filled, and we always feel their warm support. Come to the stadium on Saturday, let’s finish this football year together with good spirits and a winning result!”
