Sergei Palkin, CEO of Shakhtar, summarized the results of the outgoing year.
“I think that during my work they were two difficult years. We are in 2014, when” those events in Donbass “happened, we were forced to leave our hometown, and lo, 2020, which, in general, was not similar to not a single year in the modern history not only of our country, but of the entire world.
This is also a year of losses. Sergey Atelkin, who until recently was a soccer player, passed away, for a long time he worked as a scout with us. Anyway, he was a fairly open and honest person.
It was also a year of disappointments in human relationships. This concerns Lucescu, its decision to lead our main competitor.
Despite this, it was also a positive year. Year of discoveries. Our young footballers managed to open up: Trubin himself, Kornienko, Vitao. Those guys who have just started the process of working with the team have gotten stronger, so this is a big step forward for us.
It was also a year of achievement, because we won the championship with a record advantage over second place and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. If we take advantage of the new season already, then, in general, we leave the group of death in the Champions League. Therefore, a difficult year, a controversial year that has brought many disappointments in general, what is happening in the world. At the same time, that gave him some of his advantages “– Palkin said in an interview with ShakhtarTV.
