Only one foreigner in BATE, Kapski boasts

Euroradio phoned Anatol Kapski on the morning of October 3. The head of the board of directors of the Barusau club seemed tired although only 10 hours had passed since the fantastic victory in the match with Bayern.

The match with Valencia will be a struggle!

Euroradio: People call BATE's victory a sensation. Can you explain how your club managed to defeat the famous Germans?

Anatol Kapski: If we play many matches with Bayern, they will probably prove to be stronger. However, our victory should not be perceived as a sensation. We have professional coaches, our players love football and their Motherland a lot. We had only one foreigner and 10 Belarusians in the starting eleven - what European  club can dream of it? It is essential to understand why you play and who supports you.

Euroradio: BATE will play the next match with Valencia. Doesn't the club seem less dangerous after the match with Bayern?

Anatol Kapskі: Valencia is a club that can equally compete with Real, Bayern and Barcelona. And it is able to defeat them! It will definitely be very difficult. It will be a struggle!

Eurordaio: Alyaksandr Hleb played very well on October 2. He may receive offers after such a success. Will BATE have the money to keep him?

Anatol Kapski: I want Sasha to play his best matches. We will be happy if he stays, but we will also be happy if he returns to the top championship. We have money, but the sum should be adequate for our business and team. If Sasha receives a serious offer, I will tell him to accept it. Such players should bring joy to fans all over the world.

Eurordaio: After Bayern's defeat, the problem of finding a stadium for the Champions League matches has emerged again. Where will you play when the reconstruction of "Dynama" starts?

Anatol Kapski: We will solve the problem to make it as convenient for Belarusian fans as possible.
