Shakhtar midfielder Fernando shared his take on the test game vs Olimpik and the Miners’ readiness for the new season
- Fernando, how was the match and are you happy with the result?
- The team showed a great play and an excellent result. This is the last friendly match before the Super Cup clash against Dynamo, being the first step to the new league season.
- Can we call this friendly a rehearsal of the game against Dynamo?
- Well, this is not quite a rehearsal, but a friendly match. We are gradually preparing for the Super Cup decider, which will take place next Sunday.
- Did you manage to fulfil everything that Luis Castro had asked you to do?
- Yes, of course. Slowly, step by step, we are adapting to his style of play. Clearly, it was a little different with Paulo, but every day, with each training, we get used to it and better understand the style we need to showcase.
- How ready are Shakhtar for the season?
- The team have played for several years now; the squad has not changed much since last year. We are the champions, we are the best, so we are ready!
