Former Donetsk Shakhtar midfielder Mariusz Lewandowski remembered the Pitmen's triumph in the UEFA Cup in 2009. Then the wards of Mircea Lucescu defeated the German Werder in the final, and Jadson became the author of the winning goal in extra time.

“We felt stronger than every opponent in every match. We had a good coach Mircea Lucescu, who conducted many theoretical, individual and group sessions with football players. Before the match, he told us: “Nobody remembers the losers in the final”. There was a very short conversation that benefited our team.

"

“During the season, everyone thought that Lucescu would leave, but the president left him, showing that he believes not only in Mircea, but also in the team. After Rinat Akhmetov’s statement that the coach remains, the players felt a powerful impetus that helped to achieve incredible results, ”Mariusz Lewandowski said in an interview with FC Football.

We will remind, earlier the ex-defender of Shakhtar Razvan Rat also shared his memories of the victory of the Donetsk team in the UEFA Cup.
