Shakhtar midfielder Victor Kovalenko shared his opinion after the friendly match against CSKA.

In the control match, Shakhtar tied with CSKA Moscow from Sofia - 0: 0.

"After a month without official matches, it is important for us to recall the basic principles of the game, combinations in defense and attack. It is for this that we need sparring.

We tried to control what is happening on the field, to look for ways to the opponent's goal, but CSKA defended well and did not allow to create many moments. And those chances that we had, we could not realize, "- quotes Kovalenko official website of the Miner.

"If we talk about the first training, then we trained well and started to type the form that is necessary for the start of the season. There is one more stage ahead, where we will prepare directly for the match for the Super Bowl ".
