Igor Jovicevic: "We came to Rotterdam to win against Feyenoord

The head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk Igor Jovicevic told us what he expects from the return match between his team and the Dutch Feyenoord in the Europa League 1/8 finals, which will take place tomorrow in Rotterdam. Recall, the first meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 1-1.

"I think morally our team is definitely ready for this level of competition. We know the level of the match, we made certain adjustments after the meeting in Warsaw. The first game was hard, but we hope that then we didn't show our best soccer.

I think we have the potential to play our best soccer. We will fight from the first to the last minute. There is a good team that has repeatedly shown itself well in matches where it was not the favorite. We came to win the match, but it will be very difficult to do, because the Feyenoord stadium always has a fantastic crowd and atmosphere, and we are ready!

We continue to build a new team and the foundations of a new project. There is already a strong foundation and a bright future, although we are only at the beginning of the formation. The first year has shown that the players here have character and they can go to the highest goals - Champions League and Europa League. We have already played with Leipzig for access to the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, now we are playing for the quarterfinals of the Europa League - it is a good sign as for the first season. To return to Rotterdam, where it all started, is a sign, perhaps. It will be clear after the match whether it is good or not, but we believe it should be good. The players have to understand to have the best game of their career," Jovicevic said at the pre-match press conference.
