Shakhtar manager Luis Castro shared his expectations of the match against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
“When you have 13 players, you won’t stray too far from the starting line-up for the next game. Fortunately, I trust my players a lot, I appreciate them a lot for how they work, how they deliver to training. It allows me to sleep well. There are not that many. We will go to Madrid with the confidence that we will try to do our best. We will try to get a good result at the start of the Champions League.
Stepanenko and Pyatov? We’re talking about guys who haven’t done anything for 12 days. Today it makes no sense to talk about players who have not been with us and have not trained, whether they can play against Real Madrid or not. My attention is directed to those who are with us. Some are expected to be able to rejoin the team and spend at least a few minutes of playing time. Now it is very important to get these guys back as soon as possible to understand what we can do in Madrid.
Kovalenko is crazy about the Madrid game. If it’s ready, it will be a surprise. “ – Pitmen’s official website is cited by the mentor.
Real Madrid will host Shakhtar on Wednesday, October 21.
