Shakhtar midfielder Georgy Sudakov told us what motivates him the most at this stage of his career.
"I agree, it's very difficult to play when you are anxious. You think about your family. And probably the biggest motivation is your country, your family.
I want to progress, to reach a new level in terms of playing in new championships, to move to a higher level, but if we are talking about motivation now, it is probably my family, my country, our Shakhtar team. We often talk about the Shakhtar spirit, and all the guys who are in the team now understand what we are talking about. The last year and a half that we have been playing in the league has been the most difficult year and a half in our career. And also extremely important.
We have succeeded, won the league, reached the Europa League play-offs twice in a row, so this is a very important stage in our career," Sudakov said.
