The former head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk, Roberto De Zerbi, who now heads Brighton, spoke about the start of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
Roberto De Zerbi“In those days, I was obsessed with helping my Brazilian players. You think that the war is far from here, that it is unrealistic. But when you are inside it, you understand that in reality it is not so.
I am annoyed because of this war, I feel sorry for the Ukrainian people, the experience experienced with the players. We could be a fantastic team. The potential was limitless. We could reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
There is a possibility of Shakhtar winning the Champions League. When Leicester won the Premier League, it was the best thing in football. If you close these dreams for small teams, you can close football for me,” said De Zerby.
