Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Taras Stepanenko spoke about his work under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi.
“De Zerbi is a new generation coach. I am an experienced player, but I learned a lot from him. I liked his attitude, his energy and ideas.
If the war had not started, and if he had still worked at Shakhtar, we would have been a really great player in European football. De Zerbi created a very strong, young team that had great potential for development.
Today, the results of his work can be seen in Brighton. His next step will be some big Western club,” Stepanenko said in an interview with Meczyki.
