A comment from Shakhtar midfielder Yehor Nazaryna on MEGOGO after the victory over Breiðablik in the Conference League league phase match (2-0)
– Shakhtar currently have a pretty busy schedule, with many matches over the past two weeks. Is fatigue noticeable or is the team’s fitness completely normal?
– We have time to rest and everything necessary for recovery, so I wouldn’t say there’s physical fatigue. The coach gives all players playing time: one line-up plays, then another as well. So I believe we are in good physical form despite the heavy match schedule. We were aware of this since the summer, we prepared for it and had good pre-season training. The current training process is also physically solid, so everyone is in good shape.
– By the way, regarding the two line-ups and constant changes in the league and European matches. Was this expected or did it come as a surprise, as it did for many fans, journalists and experts, when wide rotation was made in the game against Legia?
– It only shows that the coach trusts every player. As you can see, the line-up against Legia may have been unexpected for some. There’s constant rotation, different line-ups play and that reflects the coach’s trust.
