The team is preparing for the start of a new campaign.

Shakhtar's defender Irakli Azarov spoke about the friendly match with Ipswich (0:1) and further plans.

“A wonderful game for us, we created chances, and there was no offside in the episode with Traore. We played well, but we are not physically ready for all 100 hundred thousand yet. There are matches with Dinamo (Zagreb) ahead, we are preparing and will go in good shape until the start of the season.

In my opinion, we controlled the first half and made a lot of progress, especially one shot - one goal. However, sometimes it gets lost. U maybutnyom vipravimo tse.

Ipswich is a wonderful team that is in the preparation stage for the new season, and I wish them success in the coming season.

The field was not in an ideal state, but I’m not looking for a reason for it. Everything was good for us, we were inspired by initiative, but we didn’t speed up. As I have already said, this is football, so it becomes. We will get better soon,"
