"Last week, one of Shakhtar's managers tried to explain to the people why the team's owner spent around 25 million euros this winter to invite two Brazilian players: "I don't want us to go abroad and lose 0-5, 0-7, it's impossible" - end of quote. Yesterday's game against Marseille showed that the manager was right - Shakhtar lost only 1-3. It's not 0-7 or even 0-5! So the investment in the Brazilians paid off - the task is done!" Nesenyuk wrote on Facebook.
