Shakhtar's sporting director Darijo Srna spoke about the team's performance in this tournament before the second round match of the main stage of the Conference League against Polish Legia.

The Pitmen's representative stressed that their main goal is to reach the playoffs.

" We will play against a strong club. We want to win and enjoy the opportunity to play football. We thank Warsaw and Krakow and the Poles in general for the opportunity to play in your country.

This is our first performance in this competition.. Last season was a bad season for us, but Chelsea also played in the Conference League and now they are back in the Champions League. We are moving step by step, we recently sold Kevin. This is, of course, a difficult period for us.

First of all, we want to reach the playoffs. This is the most important thing now, and after that anything can happen,” Przeglad Sportowy quotes Srna as saying..
