The director of the Pitmen recounted how the dialogue took place between the players and their entourage.
Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin spoke about the situation in the delayed match of the fifth round of the UPL against Krivbass in Krivoy Rog.
According to the functionary, it will be difficult for the club representatives to convince the players to go there after a rocket attack on a hotel in the center of Krivoy Rog.
“Imagine our team staying in this hotel and what could happen. It is difficult to manage a team and attract new players in such a situation.
Finally we arrived. But after that, the relatives of the players wrote us many messages. Their agents wrote: what shall we do? Okay, we did everything properly, with a high level of security, but in any case, from a psychological point of view, it was difficult to convince the players to go there and play,” the BBC quoted Palkin as saying.
Let’s remember that Shakhtar was supposed to live in that hotel, but a few days before there was a shelling. The battle began on September 1, but was not completed due to long air raids.
Earlier, Sikan spoke about what to expect from the match against Arsenal in the Champions League.
