Oleksiy Belik assessed the results of the European Cup playoff draw.
The head coach of the Donetsk Shakhtar junior team, Oleksiy Belik, commented on the draw for the UEFA Junior League playoffs, the results of which “Girniki” will play against the German Goffenheim.
" It is still difficult to assess how strong Goffenheim is, but they have become triumphants of the domestic championship, competing with such rivals as Bayern and Borussia, which is worth talking about.
The fight will be for one match, then everything is possible. We will try to learn, analyze the strengths and weaknesses, select tactics and earn everything to beat your opponent. Let's analyze in more detail Goffenheim is already closer to the match, and even now there is no sense, the remainder of the championship in Germany will follow a different system, as if to reconcile with the past fate, and come out with a different ring..
I haven't thought about Hoffenheim's fate yet. I’m guessing that German football, behind the scenes, is behind the scenes. It is clear that our opponent is a physically strong team that demonstrates intense football. We are surrounded by a complex sustrech, prote I chants: since we are unique in the same way, as they showed against Bayern in the first half, and we play, as in the other, then we have good chances for success.
On the 13th of today it is necessary to prepare before the game in Turechchyn, and before this football match we will undergo a medical examination, tests and a gas analyzer in order to understand our situation. Obviously, the first ones will be foldable, with a large number of running robots.
Also, sparring matches have already been planned at the training camp, and if the first team is playing with Borussia near Nimechchina, we are planning to fly with them in order to support and, most likely, play sparring with a representative of the junior championship. They wanted to align themselves with Borussia, but they were persuaded through the folding calendar of the domestic championship.
Changes are contagious, we will probably play with a team that is Goffenheim’s rival in the championship. This will be a song rehearsal until the match in the 1/16 finals of the UEFA Junior League. After returning to Turecchina, preparation for the opponent will be highly emphasized, handling the ball and adding theoretical activities to determine the strengths and weaknesses of Goffenheim,” the club’s press service quotes Belik as saying..
Matches for this stage of the tournament will take place on the 11th and 12th of 2025.
