Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner expressed his opinion on the first semi-final match of the Conference League against Shakhtar. The coach of the English team compared the Pitmen with Dynamo, with whom the Eagles met in this tournament at the league stage, and assessed the upcoming opponent. \? Yes and no. Both teams usually play in a 4-3-3 formation, but the Kiev team changed it in the match with us and played with five defenders. I always have great respect for every opponent, but Shakhtar’s individual level is a little higher, I think this can be seen in the standings. Shakhtar's roster is also quite interesting. It combines experienced players who have competed in international tournaments, as well as six or seven young Brazilian footballers. We also need to give credit to coach Arda Turan. They have a clear defensive structure, they move well and play very tightly so that space is not easy to find, and then they go on the attack very quickly. This match will be a serious test for us,” the official Crystal Palace website quotes the coach as saying..
