Shakhtar get prepared for the Europa League Round of 16 return leg against Roma

On March 16, the Miners held a 50-minute training session on the field of the Sviatoshyn sports complex.

 

We believe in our success

 

After a warm-up and squares, Luis Castro's men devoted some time to the tactic for the upcoming game, practising defensive and offensive interplay, as well as set pieces. Taras Stepanenko and Dentinho continue training based on individual recovery programmes.
If you don’t believe in it, then what’s the point taking the field? We’ve got the second leg: we psych ourselves up for it having a great desire to advance to the next round

“I got positive emotions and really enjoyed the match against Desna. I’m delighted with my match time and the team's victory. Good results are foremost,” said Shakhtar defender Valerii Bondar. “I think this victory slightly lifted our spirits and made us more resolute before the upcoming game. Nothing is over for us yet. If you don’t believe in it, then what’s the point taking the field? We’ve got the second leg: we psych ourselves up for it having a great desire to advance to the next round. We need to implement all the chances we get.
