Brazilian midfielder Tete spoke in his interview to Shakhtar News about the team’s preparation for the Europa League Round of 16 first leg vs Roma
- How strong are Roma?
- Very strong. We’ve reviewed all the latest games of the opponents. I’m sure it will be a great and interesting meeting.
- What kind of football do you expect in Rome and what instructions did Luis Castro give you?
- We tried to prepare in the best possible way. Roma are a well-organized team, very strong offensively, and we’ll try to neutralize that. We will also try to display the practical side of our play, our well-developed strategy and achieve a good result.
- Who could you highlight in the Roma squad?
- I reckon that all the players are important, I don’t want to single out anyone. Above all, we’ll play the strong team.
- This year, Shakhtar have already faced an Italian club. Can you compare Inter and Roma, do they have anything in common?
- Two different teams. Of course, there are many strong clubs in the Serie A, but these two are different. We prepared for each of them in different ways.
- Shakhtar are going through a tough period. What’s your mood ahead of the match against Roma?
- Sometimes it happens in football, that’s OK. We are strong and prepared - we will try to win.
