Marlon Gomez shared his feelings from the first sparring of the winter off-season.

Donetsk Shakhtar player Marlon Gomez commented on the draw result in the test match against Dinamo Zagreb (2:2).

“I’m so excited to turn around on the field, happy that we’re all back together again – to play football and demonstrate our passion. We have been diligently preparing for this fight. And I also respect that there is a lot of preparation for us to get back into the rhythm of the Champions League and UPL.

First of all, we put a lot of emphasis on our physical condition, the fragments turned after the double release, so we can get into better shape. I also practice leaving the defense, playing a short pass, transitioning from the drying phase to the attacking phase.

As I have already noted, we are constantly turning our attention to our best form, and I respect that Shakhtar – both on the coaching level and the club as a whole – is completing a wonderful work from the point of view of the rotation of gravity at its best.. Of course, I’m probably throwing away a few more scraps, the rest of the release was quite trivial, but I guess that I’m already close to regaining my best physical condition.

New format of the Champions League? Football is a game that is constantly changing and never stands still, and the new format of the Champions League is not a fault, but a confirmed rule. I appreciate that the new format is worth a lot. So, of course, it flows into our primary schedule, but at the same time it doesn’t flow into my level of self-sacrifice, into my main goal of playing for Shakhtar, playing on the greatest level. These are the things about which I died from childhood. Champions League – my dream is still young. “I respect everything that we can do – be professionals and continue to invest a hundred thousand rubles,” the press service of “Girniki” suggests Marlon’s words..
