Turan commented on the draw for Dynamo Kyiv in the Cup of Ukraine

In the seventh round of the Ukrainian Premier League, Shakhtar Donetsk beat LNZ Cherkasy at Arena Lviv. After the game, the head coach of "Miners" Arda Turan, among other things, reacted to his team's defeat to Dynamo Kyiv in the 1/8 finals of the Cup of Ukraine. "I must admit, it is rather strange to see the headline in the news feed that Shakhtar and Dynamo Kyiv will meet in the 1/8 finals of the Cup of Ukraine. But big games are always a great opportunity for a coach. It is, in fact, everyone's dream, so I am glad that my dream came true. I also remember our previous confrontation with them in the same tournament a year ago. Although the overall result was not good for us, I remember that game: we just dominated the ball for 60 minutes and I am convinced that it was one of our best performances during my time in Ukraine. Since then we have also progressed a lot, analyzed many things and become an even better version of ourselves. And regarding the stadium in Vilkhivtsi, which you were interested in. I think this is a great opportunity to remind for whom we play, for whom we come. I was delighted with the atmosphere in the stadium, I am grateful to all the fans who came to support their team or watch us. At the same time, I am very grateful to my players for the fact that they took this confrontation very seriously and did not allow any underestimation," said the Turkish specialist. Shakhtar Donetsk will visit Rivne Veres in the next round.
