Famous Ukrainian coach Yuriy Virt predicted that Shakhtar Donetsk will have problems in the fight for the Ukrainian league title in the new season.
"Shakhtar will definitely fight for the championship again. But this time, it will be extremely difficult for them to defend the title, because their main rival, Dynamo, is looking really strong.
I believe that the Miners have become a bit stronger - now they know the coach even better, the players understand his requirements perfectly," Wirth was quoted as saying by the UPL TV channel.
