"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.
