The specialist predicted the upcoming rival of the “pirates”.

Brest head coach Erik Rua spoke with ZMI representatives ahead of the match against Donetsk Shakhtar in the seventh round of the main stage of the Champions League 2024/25, reports the official website of “Girniki”.

Shakhtar — Brest. Announcement and forecast for the Champions League match 22. 01. 2025 The specialist shared his thoughts on the importance of Shakhtar’s official ties from the middle of the chest, as well as suggestions that can be linked to today’s result in a neutral field.

" The teams that regularly compete against Liza champions are ahead of us, and Shakhtar has great evidence of playing on this level. We must strive to achieve a result that is favorable to ourselves, even though those who have already secured their fate in the next round of destruction. We want more. This is not an easy task, and even if there are victories, there are no guarantees that we will lose in the first century.

Miner's history of working at high rates? I didn’t notice that they were creating any serious problems, but Shakhtar is an incredibly strong team with a miraculous spirit and attack. We have strong Vikonavians, for example, Kevin, a very talented Brazilian, and also a lot of Ukrainians who stand for the national team. They have a lot of knowledge and talent. We have football players with great potential. Shakhtar is a serious opponent, and a strong team is keeping an eye on us, like any game in the League of Champions. Obviously, the match is being played at high speeds. For example, Kevin and Zubkov created a lot of chances for their team, so we will need to report as much as possible in order to resist them.

Collect Shakhtar in Turechchyn? And teams that are tired due to a large number of games, and those that do not feel tired due to a lack of matches. We are ready for any scenario and have prepared well for the duration of our remaining game. I know that Shakhtar has had a number of matches with positive results, and today’s match will show the real strength of both teams. We need to focus on our game, stick to the plan and demonstrate high dedication in order to achieve the desired result.

I don’t think that the neutral field can influence the result of the match. Of course, we understand how difficult the situation in Ukraine is, they discussed it with graves. Shakhtar already has a number of rocks of confusion and is not at home through the use of furnishings. We are to blame for choking on what the stench reaches for such minds, and our focus may be lost in the sports warehouse. It is important to use the right words when speaking about what is happening in Ukraine, and all of us - the citizens, the coaching team and the team - have great respect for Shakhtar. Today the greedy game is checking on us, and I can guarantee this,” said Rua.

Guess what, the match Shakhtar - Brest is today, 22 September, will start at 19:45 Kyiv time. . .

After six matches played in the new Champions League, Shakhtar, from 13th place, is in 9th place in the tournament table..
