The Donetsk players shared their impressions of the third friendly match
Gustavo Blanco Leschuk, Shakhtar striker:
- This is a crucial victory. It was not easy for us, as we had to fight seriously for the result. In the first half, we were not very strong, but we pulled ourselves together and achieved success after the break. It is necessary to keep this up and emerge victorious in the remaining friendly matches, in order to be in a good mood towards the season start. As for my performance, I always try to help the team. I am eager to notch as many goals as possible, but, unfortunately, everything does not always go as planned. I give myself completely to the game, strive to improve and hope everything will be all right in the future. Today's opponents made a pleasant impression. I must say that everything is organized at the top level at the training camp in Germany, as Shakhtar play good clubs, and the atmosphere is just excellent, in general. I think we will prepare very well for the new season here.

We have met with good team today, where fast technical football players are assembled. In my opinion, the coaching staff should be satisfied with such a sparring partner
Serhii Kryvtsov, Shakhtar defender:
- We have met with good team today, where fast technical football players are assembled. In my opinion, the coaching staff should be satisfied with such a sparring partner. Are Odense stronger than other rivals of ours at the training camp? I cannot say that the Danes looked preferable to the same Bochum. We got into the swing of things by the 30th minute, when we started to demonstrate more or less nice performance. However, Shakhtar completely outclassed the opponents in the second half. As for the physical conditions, they are not optimal yet, because we play under loads, conducting two training sessions nearly every day. Therefore, the body still needs to get used to this schedule. I am confident that our best form is yet to come.
