Roma coach Paulo Fonseca commented on the results of the round of 16 draw , as a result of which the Romans got the former coach of the Shakhtar club.
“Probably the fact that Shakhtar was caught is fate.
This will be a tough round. I know Shakhtar well, I know their players well, they are a great team. They beat Real twice in the Champions League this year, they brought in Serie A leader Inter, so this is a very strong team.
It will be nice to return to Ukraine, where I was very happy. I will not forget these three years, but now Shakhtar is my opponent. I will be happy to see the representatives of Shakhtar again, I will be happy to see the place that made me happy.
It will be important to play a good game in the first match in Rome. I know it is always difficult to play in Ukraine, in Kiev we will have to do our best. This is a tough, strong team, in both games we will have to stay 100%, ”said Fonseca.
Let us remember that the first match of the confrontation will take place on March 11 in Rome. The return leg will take place in Kiev at the Olimpiyskiy on March 18.
