The former head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk, Luis Castro, who worked with the Qatari club Al-Duhail until spring, spoke about the training conditions in Brazil after moving to Botafogo.
“They said there was a field next to the Nilton Santos stadium, but they cheated me a bit (laughs). What field? I got used to this over the past years at Shakhtar. There was a field with fantastic grass, in Doha there are also stadiums where you can play two games in one day.
I came here, and I immediately didn’t like the training space, because we were going to the field, and cars were passing by, helicopters, birds were flying, I couldn’t conduct training.
At the Nilton Santos stadium, we trained once, the field was destroyed. We found another stadium, but it turned out to be very abandoned, ”FogãoNET quotes Castro as saying.
