Porto

As coaches, we always watch teams that are interesting to watch to learn about their qualities and style of football. Over the past seasons, Porto have always been one of the teams I have always paid attention to because they have similar ideas to my own about football and player development. We also have friends who work with Porto, so it's always nice to meet them.

Representation of Ukraine

How can Shakhtar help Ukraine in football? This is the only way we can help right now: by informing people around the world about the situation in Ukraine by giving our players the opportunity to participate in international competitions. So there are two goals - playing football and spreading information about current events in Ukraine.

Shakhtar

Shakhtar is a very strong team. Yes, they face difficulties in Ukraine, but difficulties motivate us and force us to try harder. We stand with Ukraine. It may not be the same as before, but they are very motivated. They have quality players, so we should not underestimate them. I always say that no team we play should be taken lightly. We are here to represent our country and play well.

Tactics

Speaking of tactics, it should be understood that each game is individual. There is a certain pattern to how I distribute players. It all depends on the player's experience, how his teammates understand him. The position of a particular football player depends on this. We have our own vision. We also have a plan for tomorrow and we will see how we will implement it. There are certain limitations, of course. As for Barcelona, I would say our group is pretty balanced. All opponents are strong. I also know the power of Antwerp. We've already talked about Shakhtar's strength, so I wouldn't rule anyone out. All opponents are strong enough.
