Shakhtar midfielder Marlon Gomes shared his thoughts on the friendly against Triglav and the upcoming Europa League tie with Beşiktaş
– Shakhtar played a friendly against Triglav, with you playing both halves. How did this match go for the team and what caused the defeat?
– We had more possession, but we ran out of time in the game. Unfortunately, we couldn’t claim the win. We had good chances and passes, but things didn’t quite work out in the final phase. We need to keep working and improving every day. We were a bit tired because we’d flown in that morning and didn’t have much rest. But we’re doing things we’re not used to yet. It’s frustrating to lose, even in a friendly.
– You had a month of solid work under Arda Turan – training camp and the first Europa League qualifying round. What are your conclusions about your progress?
– Mister’s style of play is what really appeals to me. It’s intense, we press immediately after losing the ball. I think that’s very important for us. As I said, we’re growing every day, as a team, as a family. All together, united. And I believe we’ll keep improving. We can grow even more in competitions.
– Shakhtar will face Beşiktaş in the second qualifying round of the Europa League. What are your expectations for the tie and how tough could these matches be for the team?
– Expectations are the best part. There are no easy games now. Shakhtar make the game difficult. We apply everything we work on during the week. I hope for a good performance from Shakhtar so that we can come out on top. To win again.
