RB Leipzig head coach Domenico Tedesco told what he expects from today's match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the 1st round of the Champions League group stage.
“We have a special game ahead of us. We will be happy to play against Shakhtar. This is the dominant team in Ukraine, which has already scored seven points in the first three matches in the current Ukrainian championship.
Despite the loss of a number of big names, Shakhtar remains a good team. Our opponent has extremely versatile players who are very strong individually. Shakhtar are capable of creating problems both on counterattacks and using their wingers. Finally, this is a club with a lot of experience in the Champions League,” Tedesco said at a pre-match press conference.
