For us, such matches are very important for growth. How we act against them, what kind of football we play and how ready we are to play against such an opponent gives us an opportunity to build the team for the future. We need to grow to this level. I think everyone has the desire. These matches are important to improve our game and equate ourselves with a team like Shakhtar," Rotan said.
