The specialist noted that it is easier for Brazilian football players to adapt to the Donetsk club due to the successful history of their compatriots.

Jose Botu, the head of the Donetsk Shakhtar breeding service, spoke about the reasons why the club mainly focuses on the Brazilian market.

" The first is related to the history of the club - the Brazilians have always successfully performed here.. They were always important for the club, and then brought the Pitmen profit when Douglas Costa, Fred and Fernandinho went to the best clubs in the world. The second reason is why it’s easier for us in the Brazilian market than in Portuguese or Spanish.. For example, Brazilian U-20 players are open to moving to Shakhtar, because the club has a successful history with their compatriots, "

" We now have 13 Brazilians. It’s easier for them to go through adaptation with other Brazilians than with representatives of other nations.

In this case, they will not only have no problems with the language, but they will also be helped with household tips. The Brazilians adapt well to the game model of Shakhtar, because they need technical footballers who must make decisions quickly and move around the field. All this can easily be found in Brazilians. "
