Junior Moraes on a visit at Shakhtar ProSchool

Junior Moraes took part in a training session at Shakhtar ProSchool. Initially the player conducted a warm-up session and showed a few dummies, and at the end of the session they had a friendly match between the teams of Junior Moraes and Henadii Zubov (one of the Shakhtar ProSchool coaches) that ended in a 1-1 draw. At the end of the training session, the children received some memorable photos and autographs of the footballer.

“I’m very happy to be here and to see so many future players!” Junior Moraes pointed out. “I am glad to see children's smiles, being delighted that I can exchange some positive vibes with the kids. The guys who dream of becoming football players remind me of my childhood. Warm memories ... I like their sincere joy from meeting with their idol. I also used to be at the other end, asked for autographs, liked many players, and when I saw them up close ... I understand how happy they are. We need to convey to them as much kindness as possible because it’s important to them. And that's cool!”
