The head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk Igor Jovicevich spoke about his mood for the match against Minai in the 9th round of the Ukrainian Championship, which will take place this Saturday.
Igor Jovichevich“We must respect every opponent who opposes us. I think "Minaj" deserves full respect. Moreover, we see that they are now having good results: they played well against Dynamo.
We play away, let's see what the field will be like. And, of course, after such a busy schedule, there is a certain fatigue. But, as I said, champions have to have this mentality: forget about everything, project success in your head and move on. So don't even think about Celtic (On Tuesday, Shakhtar are waiting for an away match with this team in the Champions League - ed.) — we think about Minaj, about how to beat him and be in the standings where we want, where we deserve to be and what we work for. First - "Minaj", and then we will think about other games," said Jovičević.
