- I know - I read that if there were Brazilians, then we would not even be allowed into the team for a cannon shot.
- How did you react to these words?
- Fine. You have to face the truth - it is. Is this some kind of secret? 15 players left the team or how many. All the legionnaires left, only Traore remained. Now Taylor and Jurasek have arrived. The president of Dynamo told the truth. And I agree with him somewhere, of course.
- We used to talk with the young players of Shakhtar - they believe that they would fight for a place in the squad and with the Brazilians in the squad, and they have a desire to prove that they are no worse.
- Any professional athlete, especially a football player, will say that. What will I say now that I am a sausage, and they are fine? Everyone will fight to the end and no one will give up their positions. And there, the leaders and the coach will decide who will play and who is better. This is a common situation in professional sports. There must always be competition. If it is not there, then you can relax the buns a little.
