Shakhtar striker Junior Moraes talks about the victory over Wolfsberger in the team's first friendly at the training camp in Turkey and his fitness
- We are happy! This is the first game at the training camp, and it’s really important to start with a win. Shakhtar are always trying to do it.
- What was Roberto De Zerbi's plan for the match and did you manage to fulfil it?
- As this is the first encounter, we dedicated a lot of time to our tactic and positioning. We train a lot and already understand perfectly well what playing style Mister requires of us.
- In 2019, you also scored a goal against Wolfsberger, while today you’ve grabbed a brace. Is the outcome or practical aspect a priority?
- Undoubtedly, we need to practise some aspects of our play in order to improve them. But we are Shakhtar, so we think about winning any match.
- What do you make of your fitness, are you approaching your top form?
- In physical terms, I’ve still got to improve many things. I worked a lot on vacation and now I work very hard, gradually rediscovering my optimum form and rejoicing at the results.
