Kick-off of the match Shakhtar – Rennes – at 19:45
Midfielder of Shakhtar Alexander Zubkov talked about preparing the team for the first match of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League against Rennes.
“It is much more difficult for our soldiers than for us. Yes, we want to continue our fairy tale in the Europa League, so we will go out and fight for each other.”
“We have carefully studied the opponent and we know both the weaknesses and strengths of Rennes, we also know that they have individually strong players. Mister said that we should go out and show the football that we worked on at the training camp. The opponent has a slight advantage in tone, but in such games, what comes from the inside matters more. You just have to go out and play.”
The Shakhtar vs Rennes match will take place on February 16 in Warsaw at the Polish Army Stadium. The meeting starts at 19:45 Kyiv time. The fight will be judged by the Bosnian team of judges headed by Ilfan Pelto.
The second leg will take place in France on February 23. The match starts at 22:00 Kyiv time.
