Shakhtar director satisfied with young players
Football director Miner Dario Srna commented on the outcome of the first match of the group stage Champions League with Leipzig (4:1). The Croatian is proud of the team that was able to get a victory for Ukraine.
“We went into the locker room with the director, they said that we were proud of the team. Didn’t even know what to say. In such a situation, bringing so much joy to the Ukrainian people is worth a lot. This is a victory for Ukraine.”
“We are still building. This is a new team, a new Shakhtar. The young boys have worked. They have a future, but it takes time.
Once again I repeat that I am glad to be a part of this team at such a time. When times are good, it’s easy to be with the team. In difficult times, we show that we are one family, and this is the victory of the Ukrainian people.
I am very pleased with the Swede. His first game. And also the coaching staff, the players… All well done.”
“We have everything ahead of us. There will be many ups and downs – there will be good moments and bad ones. But you should always have fun, because Shakhtar did something that no one expected. With the guys who are the future of Shakhtar and the future of Ukrainian football.”
Shakhtar defeated Leipzig in the opening match and topped Group F. The Man of the Match was Gornyakov’s winger Marjan Shved, who signed a five-year contract from Belgian Mechelen last summer.
In the second round, Jovićević’s men will host Celtic on September 14. Recall that the Scottish club in the home arena devastatingly lost to Real Madrid (0:3).
