Well-known journalist and football analyst Igor Linnik shared his thoughts on the Pitmen's game and their prospects in the new season following the results of yesterday's charity match between Ajax Amsterdam and Shakhtar Donetsk (3:1).
Igor LinnikDressed in FC Shakhtar jerseys, yesterday's FC Mariupol, slightly diluted with several veterans of the Lucescu spill, is a very, very, very raw team.
In the Champions League group, she has absolutely nothing to catch. In the UPL, she is also in for a lot of surprises.
Strengthen, of course, she can still. The only question is by whom? The answer is those who will not run away from Shakhtar already in the next winter off-season. And this can either be Croats/Yugoslavs who trust and enjoy the trust of Srna and Jovićević, or free agents who are not in demand in other markets.
In general, welcome to the new reality, Mr. Smith!” Linnik wrote on his Facebook page.
