Former “Shakhtar” defender Oleksandr Kuchер considers it a positive outcome for the miners to “avoid a thrashing” from “Bayern” in the Champions League match.
— I don’t think there will be a thrashing. The team is preparing for this match, they understand the strength of “Bayern”. “Shakhtar” will fight, because we lack points to continue participating in European cups. We have upcoming matches against tough opponents, but somewhere we need to take points to advance.
Concentration is important. It won’t be easy; the Germans have powerful players who can both outplay and break through. Therefore, we need to always support and cover each other, give hints, and show team play. In the transition phases from defense to attack, we need to play quickly, as we did against PSV. And we must definitely use our chances, as there won’t be many of them, — the expert is confident.
