The head coach of the Miner Paulo Fonseca shared his plans for the performance in European competition.

Paulo Fonseca believes that the next season will be more difficult for Shakhtar. Also, the coach named the team he would like to meet in the Champions League - this is Manchester United.

"I do not sell dreams and dreams.". I'm talking about reality. And we must look at this reality without hiding our eyes. I think that next season will be much more difficult than this. Firstly, because we are champions, and this puts us even more responsibility. More often it is more difficult to motivate precisely the players-champions, "- said Fonseca in an interview with the Great Football.

"We will be in the Champions League, and now we have to perfectly understand that perhaps we do not have the weapons that Real Madrid and Barcelona have, but we really believe in ourselves. No one can know the future, and, of course, I can not promise people that I will be the winner of the Champions League. It is very difficult to go through the group - not that to get to the final of the tournament ".

"I've already seen the teams that can get to us, and the second basket where these teams are located. I think that I would like to meet with Manchester United. It is very difficult to choose, all very strong. But now I would like to play with Manchester United, "- confessed the Portuguese.

"I have great respect for Mourinho. If we talk about the teams, then we can not say that there are those that are easier to pass and which are more difficult. I would just like to meet Manchester United, with this team. And not because of Mourinho, but because of Manchester United ".

"I adhere to the idea that we do not need to radically change something in the team..

Even because we are not in a favorable financial situation to buy players who are the best of the best. Look now at any striker, who for the season scores 20 goals - he automatically starts to cost about 20 million euros. Because I do not think that this will be a good idea and that we will have a great opportunity to buy players who are worth a lot of money, "- admitted Fonseca.

It is worth noting that the experienced defender Shakhtar Alexander Kucher will leave the club.
