The midfielder of "Shakhtar" Heorhiy Sudakov commented on the victory over "Brest" in the main round match of the Champions League.
"Of course, the emotions are only positive. This is a very important victory for us. We can say that we are still in the game. There is a final against "Borussia" left, and we understand that we only need a victory. I believe we deserved this victory based on the game.
I think we played a game with character today. The mister was motivating us the day before, noting that "Brest" is a physically very strong team. He emphasized that if we win the battles, transitional phases, and retrieving the ball, the result will be in our favor. That’s exactly what happened. All the guys gave their maximum, there are no questions for any of the players. I think this game deserved such a result.
What do we expect from the match against "Borussia"? It’s hard to say about specific expectations, as we only need a victory. Everyone understands this: both the coaching staff and the fans. We will try to do everything possible, understanding how strong a team "Borussia" is in Europe. However, they are currently going through a certain crisis, and everything will depend on our game and preparation. We have a whole week of the training cycle," quoted Sudakov the official site of "Shakhtar".
