Shakhtar midfielder Marian Shved shared his impressions from the friendly match against Moldovan Zimbru (3-0) and assessed the physical conditions of the team
– Marian, Shakhtar’s test match against Zimbru ended with the victory of the Miners. Can you comment on this friendly game?
– It is good that we won, but this is a friendly game, preparation for the upcoming official matches in the league, so I think the main task was to improve our physical conditions and follow the coach’s instructions.
– Today, you are the player who spent the maximum number of minutes on the field. How did these two halves feel and what can you say about your physical condition?
– It was quite difficult, of course. Firstly, because I have not played that much, 90 minutes, in a long time, and secondly, because the opponent controlled the ball pretty well. And in today's game it was important to run the distance we need.
– Let’s recall the episode when you scored a goal. How can you describe it?
– Well, there was an attack first, I shot – they saved. And Nazaryna picked up the ball, passed it to me in the centre, and I controlled it under my right foot and shot – the ball bounced into the goal.
– The team will be here at the training camp for another week, and then the second part of the season will begin. How do you assess your conditions and preparation for the resumption of the championship?
– I think we are progressing every day, our conditions are getting better and better. So I think that we will approach the start of the season fully ready.
– What goals do you set for yourself?
– As for me, I want to be ready for the season.
