Shakhtar goalkeeper spoke out about the second leg of the Europa League against Wolfsburg.

Shakhtar will have a return match with Wolfsburg in the framework of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, which will already be officially held in Kiev. The Pitmen's goalkeeper Andrei Pyatov shared his expectations from this confrontation, talking about the opponent’s shortcomings, which were highlighted by head coach Luis Castro.

" I suppose Wolfsburg made conclusions about us, so I don’t know how the return meeting will develop. But at that time we had an idea of \u200b\u200bour advantages: we are faster, our Brazilian performers understand how to win martial arts, took advantage of them, and did it pretty well. However, we still needed to score one or two goals in order to get closer to what we were striving for "

The Donetsk club misses 26 matches in a row in the European Cups, but Andrei Pyatov is not too concerned about this fact.

" If we win the Europa League and miss in every match, I will only be happy! Of course, I am the goalkeeper and I want to keep the gate locked, like any other. Goalkeeper Zero is the best indicator of his performance. "

“Nevertheless, I also understand that the standards in Europe are much higher than in Ukraine, and it’s more difficult to leave the gate dry. Sometimes it's my fault, sometimes my teammates, but this is our collective problem.

So, God forbid, we can finally not miss in the upcoming matches, ”the official website of Shakhtar quotes Pyatov.

Recall, the return match Shakhtar - Wolfsburg will be held on August 5 at 19:55 Kiev time. The first meeting of these teams in Germany ended with the Pitmen's victory with a minimal advantage in the score (2: 1).

In the event that the Donetsk Shakhtar will reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League, they will play against Basel or Eintracht. The Swiss team, which defeated the Germans in the first game (3: 0), is much more likely.
