Junior Moraes believes that he has finally found his team, although he regrets a little that he could not be at Shakhtar in 2010.

" - I had a conversation with Mircea Lucescu, who then coached the team, he was interested in me, but, unfortunately, the transfer did not take place "

" And in 2012, I myself moved to Donetsk, having signed a contract with Metallurg, but I continued to follow Shakhtar and admire his game "

" And only after a few years everything worked out, and I ended up in a club with such a good organization and a team with such a fascinating style of play "

" In Ukrainian football, discipline and physical strength are important, in Brazilian - improvisation and technique. When this is mixed properly, it creates a well-structured team in which everyone knows their roles.

"

" I know how hard it is for Brazilians, who haven't really played at an adult level, to come to a country where conditions are completely different.. But they are talented and constantly progressing. Now all our young guys are showing an excellent game, and it's not just about Brazilians. There are a lot of local students in Shakhtar, whom the club develops well "

In less than two seasons, Moraes played 78 matches for Shakhtar, in which he scored 50 goals and gave 24 assists.

Earlier, the forward spoke about his expectations from the Europa League quarterfinals against Basel.
