The winger of the Donetsk Shakhtar Neverton showed up after the strained passage of the Polish Lech for bags in the 1/8 finals of the Conference League.
“Thank God, we made it to the quarterfinals - it’s very important for the team. Well, it's a very difficult match. The first team played well and achieved results that are important today. I want Lech – it’s a very good team, but we were able to go further.
Even radium, which helped the team in both matches. Lech is a very strong team, we knew what would be important. Ale mi ran into each other, were able to maintain concentration and go further.
There was a moment when we, perhaps, relaxed, lost our strength, or fought to the end. We didn’t start fighting, we fought until our opponent managed to score two goals. Managed to renew focus, win the match and reach the quarterfinals.
We celebrated a sufficient holiday, both in the napkin and on the field with sick bags. Before we speak, there are so many fans here in Krakow. What is the matter with the coach, he greeted us and said that it was necessary to lose focus during this tournament.
Everyone may be even more desperate to reach the finals and thus overcome the Conference League. For the sake of the skin - be a champion in the skin tournament, especially in the European one. This is very important for all of us,” said Neverton.
In the 1/4 finals, Donetsk Shakhtar will compete with the Dutch AZ Alkmaar. The first meal is scheduled for the 9th week, about 22:00 Kyiv time.
