The former coach of Pitmen and Dynamo Kyiv named the strongest qualities of the Ukrainian champions.
Mircea Lucescu has warned Bologna not to underestimate Shakhtar Donetsk. According to the famous coach, despite all the problems associated with the war in Ukraine, the Pitmen are still a strong team.
The Romanian specialist also said that he wants to go to Italy for Shakhtar’s opening match in the Champions League.
“I want to go and watch Ukraine is my second homeland, for many reasons, what will happen there can not be united with you, you kind of take it yourself, experience what is happening with a trembling that chaos.. However, when you do your job, when you win, even a small village seems like the best place in the world to you.
The miner has changed a lot, and it’s true. When the war started, the Brazilians left, but if I were Bologna, I would still be careful, because Shakhtar has good, talented, very fast players, but at the same time very dangerous. Although they are not like Shakhtar they used to be, they are still a good team. In Bologna, they will also play for their country, and this, I tell you, is the first deep feeling that a Ukrainian football player brings to the field.
Who is ready to play in the top 5 European leagues with Shakhtar? In addition to Bondarenko, there is Sudakov, a 22-year-old midfielder, and also defender Matvienko,” Corriere dello Sport told Lucescu.
We remind you that the match Shakhtar – Bologna will take place on Wednesday, September 18. The match will start at 19:45 Kyiv time.
Earlier it became known that the son of the Shakhtar legend will support the Pitmen in the Champions League game.
