President of Donetsk Shakhtar Rinat Akhmetov, before the match against Kharkov (1:0), checked the team with general director Sergiy Palkin, sports director Darijo Srna and head coach Arda Turan.

At the hour of the expansion, the team’s preparations were increased, strengthening the warehouse until the end of the transfer window and key tasks before the start of the UEFA Champions League.

Behind the bag, the President of Donetsk made the following comment:.

" We didn’t earn everything we planned, and there are still 17 days left for us.

In front of us is the important and important way of the Ukrainian Championship. My colleagues - presidents of other clubs - have earned a lot and seriously strengthened their warehouses, so I predict that the fight in the championship will be extremely difficult.

We all set ambitious goals for ourselves, and we also want to create intense competition and do everything we can to steal the title..

And in Liza Champions we get a wonderful price. I am convinced that the boys will be greatly satisfied with the game on the highest level. We also work with an elevated pulse and, I am sure, we simultaneously experience a lot of positive emotions as a result of good results.

We will discuss in the future what else we can do to help the team so that they are as ready as possible before the season.

We would also like to go after head coach Arda Turan. Arda, thank you very much for being here in our land. You, like all Ukrainians, are throwing yourself under missiles and bombs.

You are the ambassador of the Turkish people.

I know that Turkey encourages us, the Turkish people support us, President Erdogan encourages us. I think that Ukraine stands and rejects a fair, long-lasting peace.

I don’t think - I can’t believe that Ukraine is rejecting a fair and lasting peace,” said the Ukrainian functionary.

It seems likely that Shakhtar’s head coach was left in the bag due to his team’s dissatisfied performance in the game against Kharkov.
