It is always important to make a confident and powerful start to the Premier League. We perfectly studied Vorskla. It is not easy to earn points in Poltava, just recollect several years of the head-to-head games’ history
Darijo Srna, Shakhtar skipper:

It is not easy to earn points in Poltava, just recollect several years of the head-to-head games’ history. They have a strong team here, deserving of respect, and I wish them good luck. Taking into account the Super Cup, we have already registered two victories, but the next encounter will be of paramount importance. We play well, demonstrate Shakhtar's football and create real efforts, which is the most important thing. Congratulations to Alan Patrick, who registered an assist and notched a goal, as well as to making his tonight’s debut Petriak as a substitute. We proved that we have a bench and everyone can replace a teammate in the squad. Now we are going to gear up for the clash versus Dynamo.
