Former striker of Donetsk “Shakhtar” Oleksandr Hladkyi assessed the current potential of his former team.
Oleksandr Hladkyi“Today’s 'Shakhtar' is no longer what it was under Puchych. The team looks very good physically now, can add during the game, press throughout the entire match, and when needed — defend the result.
The potential of this team is there, and it’s good, but whether it will be fully realized — only time will tell. The team under Turan is young, with only Matviyenko remaining from the veterans.
Arda has truly changed the team: I don’t see that 'Shakhtar' that was one or two years ago. The main thing is for the guys to understand and fulfill on the field what the coach demands and wants to see from them, and there, I repeat, time will tell,” said Hladkyi.
