Hrachyov and Arendaruk about the game vs Benfica
The Donetsk team footballers speak about the upcoming UEFA Youth League Last 8 fixture.
Volodymyr Hrachyov, Shakhtar defender (U-19):
- Of course, we have been preparing for the match against Benfica very seriously: we review their games, paying attention to some particularly dangerous players and analysing it. The Portuguese side have a very good attacking third – both in the centre and on the wings. So, again, we have been gearing up for this meeting in the best way possible. It’s true that we feel the excitement – that’s normal. But I'm sure it will immediately disappear when we take to the pitch.
Denys Arendaruk, Shakhtar forward (U-19):
- If we compare Benfica and Olympiacos, I think the Portuguese are stronger. The team is better coordinated and more organised. Plus Benfica has a very strong group of offensive players – it’s hard to play against them. But tomorrow we will give our all and succeed. Plus we’ve got just three games left to win the title - of course, we can feel the heat. But we understand that everything depends on us.
