The head coach of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Petrakov, who attended the charity match between Roma and Shakhtar, shared his emotions from the atmosphere at the match.
Alexander Petrakov“I will only talk about the atmosphere, I will not talk about the game. Since I am an acting coach, I will not say how to play, this should be done by experts.
Atmosphere - I've never seen anything like it. I thought there would be some test match. It was the presentation of the team before the start of the championship, its each player. I have never seen such an atmosphere. 70 thousand spectators came to support the team in the new season. I have never seen anything like this in our country. Already goosebumps were running on the skin. I will remember for the rest of my life.
I saw that in Italy they do not fully support Ukraine. I am a straight person - I have not seen such support from Italians. But the club supported the Ukrainians, the head coach Jose Mourinho supported the Ukrainians - this is very good," Petrakov said on the air of the Shakhtar club Youtube channel.
