The parents were watching the developments, being very emotional.
- My son Danil has been taking part in the Let’s Play project since April last year, training regularly just twice a week. He likes it so much, - said Anna Redchuk. - Shakhtar for him is everything! We try to watch all the matches, even allowing to watch those late at night. But now he is on vacation, so it’s very good that the son spends most of the time with the ball. Therefore, I want to say thank you very much to Shakhtar for the fact that in our difficult time, the club has given children the opportunity to play football, getting away from everything else. Excellent coaches, very clever... When we came here, we did not even know what the ball is, we feared it. Over the year, everything has changed.
Trophies were presented to the young sportsmen by Shakhtar’s outstanding veterans Dmytro Shutkov and Serhiy Pogodin.

I am surprised by the level of performance shown by the guys. Passions were even higher than in some of the adult football games
- I came home on leave, and just at that time they organised the competition. Of course, I could not refuse them. It is evident that all the guys approach the games with great enthusiasm. Today, I was watching the tournament developments and separately the young goalkeepers, recalling a movie featuring the goalkeeper of the 1930s and its main character Karasikov. He looked very similar to one of the guys who have kept the goal today, - admitted Dmytro Shutkov.
- It was a pleasure to take part in this tournament. The emotions are very positive. In our difficult time, I was very happy to see so many children, - shared his impression Serhiy Pogodin. - To be honest, I am surprised by the level of performance shown by the guys. Passions were even higher than in some of the adult football games.
Let us remind you that the Come on, Let’s Play! project was launched on October 1, 2015, being very popular in Donetsk for several years now. In the homeland of Shakhtar, over 200 children aged 7 to 12 are involved in playing football, alongside with regular competitions being held among the teams.
