Shakhtar midfielder Wellington Nem claims that the Pitmen are not going to save power in the match against FC Lviv.

"We did a very good job.. We had two weeks to prepare for the game against Lviv, and three weekends. Now everyone has returned and focused on the championship. On Friday there will be a very important game, where we expect to show good football and, of course, we hope to win, "said Nem..

"With some of the Brazilians of FC Lviv, we were in the Brazilian national team, and it's cool to play against our friends, against other Brazilians. Such meetings are always pleased. Difficult fight is expected, also thanks to these players ".

"Cold weather? No, it will not affect the game.. We are all accustomed to such weather, we train in the cold, and therefore it will not change anything on the field ".

"I think it makes no sense to take care of yourself with Lviv, to leave the forces on the Champions League. Now we need to be fully focused on the championship.. It's true that we have eight points of advantage, but there are also three tours before the holidays, in which we can increase the gap, which is also important. And in the Champions League it all depends on us.. There are two important matches to be held, and we have every chance to score points and pass on.. Lyon plays with the City, and it will be a difficult meeting for them. So you need to concentrate on both tournaments. ".

"I think now I have the best time at Shakhtar. I have more opportunities to play, show my football, which makes me happy! ".

The match of the 16th round of the Ukrainian Premier League between Shakhtar and FC Lviv will be held on Friday, the 23rd of November. The beginning of the meeting at 19:00 Kyiv time.
