Leipzig coach Rose: Of course it’s hard for Shakhtar to be so far from home and overcome all this

The coach paid tribute to the Ukrainian team

Main coach RB Leipzig Marco Rose shared his expectations for the upcoming match Champions League With miner. He noted that Mykhailo Mudryk and Taras Stepanenko stand out among the Pitmen.

“Playing for a draw is never a smart decision. We know who we are playing against, we know that our opponent plays for his country and does it very well. But we want to show beautiful football and we are determined to win,” Rose said.

“I already had the experience of playing against Shakhtar two years ago. But now the composition of the team has changed. I think that the team is great: a lot of courage, a lot of hard work, very good defenders. And players like Mudryk and Stepanenko stand out very much and are guiding.”

“Amadou Aidara resumed training and flew with us, but he will not take part in tomorrow’s game. At the same time, we are counting on Janis Blaswich, who is ready to help us. And this is very important for us. Simakan was also in training today and got the green light.”

“I have already spoken about the situation in Ukraine, namely the war. Of course, it’s hard for Shakhtar to be so far from home and to overcome all this. But I have nothing more to say on this subject. The only thing we can do is support Ukraine. I think people in Germany support Ukraine. Naturally, this is a difficult emotional situation and it is difficult to go through, especially for the guys on the field who represent their country. But what else can we do but go out on the field, play football and continue to live a normal life. Even though she’s not normal.”

RB Leipzig are second in Group F and 3 points ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk. To qualify for the playoffs of the Champions League, the Ukrainian team needs a victory. In case of any other outcome, the Pitmen will advance to the playoffs of the Europa League.

The match between Shakhtar and RB Leipzig will take place on November 2 in Warsaw. The fight starts at 19:45 Kyiv time. The match will be served by a team of referees from England led by Michael Oliver.
