Oleksandr Zubkov commented on the UCL group stage draw for Shakhtar and told about additional motivation for the Eurocup matches
– What general impressions do you have after the draw? Did Shakhtar get a strong draw?
– Of course, there are no weak opponents in the UCL. Shakhtar have the experience of playing against Real Madrid and played a little bit against Celtic during the last year. I think the group is interesting and strong.
– What strong sides of Celtic can you emphasize?
– Support of the stand. There were near 50 thousand spectators during the last match in Scotland. They all sang and supported the team.
– How well do you know your opponents? Did you think about personal matchups?
– We will analyze every opponent closer to the games and prepare for throughout the next weeks.
– What will give additional motivation during these matches?
– Everyone knows about the situation in our country. All players entering the field will do the best they can.
– Have Sudakov and other young guys already told about how to defeat Real Madrid?
– I think there is going to be a video analysis and I will see everything for myself.
– When we will be able to see you on the football pitch?
– We will see, but today I already had a full training session. I need a little more time to recover the functional conditions.
