The head coach of the Miner, Paulo Fonseca, shared his expectations for the future match of his team against Feyenoord.

"The state of the lawn? An excellent group of agronomists works here and does a good job. The field will be in excellent condition, even though Metalist and Shakhtar played recently, "said Paulo Fonseca at the pre-match press conference.

"Feyenoord's physical form and Shakhtar's schedule? This month was difficult for us. Permanent flights, hotels. But we are preparing in the usual mode, we are preparing for the children video. They brought information to them, they all looked. Despite the tight schedule, we managed to once again study the opponent ".

"Ferreira? I trust all the players of my team and choose the composition based on what can happen. It's not a secret that Facundo is now in great shape and is experiencing the best stage in his career. But once again I repeat that I trust absolutely all of my players ".

"Shakhtar shoots a little on goal, we created a lot of points, but could not score. I admitted that we had problems, but now we have coped and there will be no more questions ".

"Changes in the composition? We had an excellent game in Holland, only if we do not talk about the first minutes. I think that the game will not change much tomorrow either.. I think that in two weeks the teams can not radically change. So we will see about the same game tomorrow ".

"With whom Shakhtar was the most difficult to play in the Champions League? It's very difficult to talk about it. All three matches were very difficult. We needed to apply all our strengths. It's too early to talk about the final distribution of teams, because we have great teams that can take points from each other ".

"Criticism after the match with Steel?

Criticism is part of our profession and when I have to do it, I'm not shy about it. After the game, we talked and now the players are fully prepared for the match with Feyenoord. Tomorrow everything will be different, "- said Fonseca.

Match Shakhtar - Feyenoord will be held on Wednesday, November 1, at 21:45 Kiev time.
