Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Yegor Nazarina has revealed what he expects from his side's away match against Belgian side Antwerp in the 2nd round of the Champions League group stage.
Egor Nazarina"We have been watching and analysing this opponent. We have a difficult and very important game ahead of us.
Why are we talking about third place in the group? We have played only one game against Porto, we will have five more matches. Therefore, the whole fight in the group is ahead.
Yes, the situation is really difficult - we live in a country at war and play football. However, we are professional footballers, so we are defending the honour of our country at the international level and we are grateful to our Armed Forces for giving us this opportunity. I will say it again: it is not easy, but we will do our best to represent our country on the European stage," Nazarina said at the pre-match press conference.
