Shakhtar Castro: Warning to Atalanta

DBasia.news –  Shakhtar Donetsk’s boss, Luis Castro, has warned Atalanta that his team is in top form. “We have achieved nine wins in a row …”

Castro replaced Paulo Fonseca during the summer after the latter moved to Rome, but the change did not affect Shakhtar’s domestic dominance because they had started the Ukraine campaign with a record 100 percent.

“The results tomorrow will be very important. “We want to take home a few points,” he said at a press conference for tomorrow’s Champions League match at the San Siro.

“Atalanta are a very strong team, who play tight behind after scoring goals. We must be prepared for this type of game, making sure we are ready for all possibilities.

“We will try to defend the ball to get them into trouble, using wings. I have a clear idea and I want to pass it on to my players.

“For us, there are results that speak for themselves: we have achieved nine wins in a row.

“The Champions League is the most important competition, the best teams are in it. Each league is different from the others: national competitions cannot be compared to one another.

“Malinovsky is a great player, but we are ready to face any player. It is a complicated group, but tomorrow will not determine: the third match will be.”
