" We studied Shakhtar's style of play, we are ready to play both defensively and offensively, we are ready for the opponent to show himself actively. In the Champions League, we will not invent something new. The main thing is to play flexibly. We do not believe that any number of defenders in a particular section of the field plays a decisive role.. The principles by which we build our game play a decisive role. "

The specialist also admitted that the Borussia coaching staff has been watching Shakhtar for a long time and thoroughly studied the game of the Donetsk club.

But we will try to play a very open game, only in this case we will be able to show a good game "

" We know this team as an experienced opponent.. Shakhtar often plays in Europe, won the UEFA Cup, the Donetsk club has a lot of qualified players who have excellent qualities. We not only follow the opponent, but also respect him, "
