Olexiy Bakharev: Old-timers have led Shakhtar
Olexiy Bakharev dedicated his column in the latest issue of Shakhtar magazine to the analysis of the Donetsk team’s performance in July. In addition, the former Shakhtar midfielder did not fail to look into the future.
- I agree with our old guard - Darijo Srna, Tomas Hubschman, Vyacheslav Shevchuk and Oleksandr Kucher. This summer, additional responsibility was imposed onto the old-timers. They did not let the team down, serving as spark plugs for the latter instead. And the fact that Shakhtar in July did not lose any points and that they have not lost the champions' spirit is largely the merit of these guys.
I agree, the start of the league season is tough, nervous and hard-fought. I am confident that the same will be Shakhtar’s path in the Champions League group stage, regardless of the opponents of our team in the quartet. It is not necessary to watch the Champions League draw to realize that the renewed Shakhtar will find it difficult. Is this season in European competitions lost for Shakhtar? I do not agree with this, my friends!
You can read the full version of Olexiy Bakharev’s piece in the August issue of Shakhtar magazine.
