Shakhtar midfielder Tete shared his impressions of the first competitive appearance
- I’m very happy! I earned a spot-kick and benefited the team - that’s the most important thing.
- How is your adaptation to Shakhtar’s play system going?
- We often communicate with Mister. In training and at the friendly games we held, I always asked him what I needed to do.
- Have you fulfilled everything he asked for today?
- You can always do more. I must work on and do my utmost in the remaining matches.
- There are many Brazilians at Shakhtar, but you play on the right wing together with the Ukrainian Serhii Bolbat. Do you have chemistry with him?
- Well, little by little, using some very simple words, we understand each other. And this, of course, helps our team.
- You replaced one of the regular leaders - Marlos. Should he worry about his place in the squad?
- No, by no means did I come here thinking of replacing him. The main thing for me is to make a good appearance, and I succeeded at that.
