Shakhtar midfielder Artem Bondarenko answered the journalists’ questions before the meeting with Bologna
– Artem, there were certain questions for Shakhtar after the first matches in the UPL, but after the confident victory over Karpaty, especially thanks to your hat-trick, the situation has improved Tell us, how charged are the team for the match of the Champions League level now?
– I do not want to compare these two tournaments, because everything is different in the Champions League – completely different nature and atmosphere. That is why we expect a completely different mood and game. I think the Champions League has a festive and special atmosphere, because the best teams and footballers play in this tournament. The match against Karpaty gave us an emotional boost that we needed, so, in my opinion, everything will be fine.
– We congratulate Shakhtar on the start of the Champions League campaign! Bologna are currently in the middle of the table. Can you single out anyone in this team?
– I do not want to single out any player, because football is a team sport. It is known that Bologna are a good team, if we look at them as a whole, so I think they are worthy opponents for the start in the Champions League. I know that participation in the Champions League is a special event for Bologna, so we expect an interesting match.
