Shakhtar defender Dodo reflects on his debut goal, his victory over Kolos, and the upcoming Champions League match
- You scored your first goal for Shakhtar. Who do you dedicate it to?
- I want to dedicate my first goal to God, to my wife and daughter, to my whole family, and also to Marlos. When I arrived at Shakhtar, he was the one to help me a lot. I’m grateful to him.
- Why do you think it was such an easy win?
- We always take to the pitch with a huge desire to win and to deliver some great performance. This game was no different - we were determined and won it confidently.
- What do you make of Shakhtar’s defensive performance?
- In a word, those were the young defenders who know what needs to be done on the pitch perfectly well.
- Soon, the team are to play Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League (tickets are available). Do you expect a tough game?
- That's a crucial encounter for us. It won’t be easy for any of the opponents. But we need to win at home to score six points and cement our group standing.
