Taras Stepanenko is confident that the Miner does not need to close the entire team in defense in the match against Manchester City.

Shakhtar midfielder Taras Stepanenko commented on the upcoming match against Manchester City in the Champions League.

"It is better to show good football, to play both in defense and in attack, than to sit for 90 minutes in defense, leave with the tongue on your shoulder and take nothing away from Manchester. With such teams you need to play and not be afraid, "- began Stepanenko.

"Manchester City - a team that loves to play with the ball and dominate the field. We saw it in all matches in which they participate. ".

"The team constantly controls the ball, they have very fast, technical, smart players who make decisions quickly. Therefore, it is ideal, of course, to neutralize their strengths, play competently in defense and use their chances on counterattacks, ”Stepanenko said in a comment to television channels Football.

The match Manchester City - Miner will be held today, November 7th. The meeting starts at 22:00.
