General Director of Donetsk Shakhtar Sergey Palkin commented on the preparation of the team for the second half of the season under the guidance of Italian specialist Roberto De Zerbi.

" The most important thing that unites them is a professional approach.. In the coaching staff, everyone knows what he is doing, this can be seen outside the training process, and especially on the training fields, when the entire squad is actually involved. There is no such thing that someone is idle, and then turns on. Everyone is involved in the process.

If you superficially look at the difference between De Zerbi and the coaches who were before him, then in fact the guys are divided into two groups and work in two stages: first, the first group, which is given, let's say, an hour, and then the second one enters. This suggests that De Zerbi wants to personally pay attention to each player on the field, to see that each of them understands what he is doing, knows where to be, at what point in the game what functionality to perform. Naturally, the length of the training process per day increases to three or more hours, so for the coaching staff itself, even from a physical point of view, this is quite hard work..

A slightly different approach, but the main thing is that there should be professionalism and that in the end there should be a result after the training camp. This is the first winter training camp of De Zerbi in our club, in Europe no one holds such long training camps. And also the question is how we will enter the continuation of the championship.

At least Roberto has a very good coaching staff that helps.

Constantly near Dario, who for many years has gone through all the training processes, winter and summer camps, knows our championship and helps in every possible way. Support is felt. Roberto, let's say, is grateful to the club's management that someone from the management is constantly present at training camps, in the training process itself, for support both on and off the pitch,"
