The Brazilian Miners’ midfielder Pedrignyo commented on the team’s readiness on the eve of this confrontation and shared his thoughts on the new requirements of Arda Turan’s head coach.
“Of course, we have very confidently won the first match, but we do not lose concentration and seriously approach this match, as well as any other confrontation. It is important to harden the mentality of the winners in each individual match, especially for the result. A duel, so there can be no relaxation or underestimation of the opponent.
This season, for the new coaching staff, I found myself a more familiar midfielder. Mr. and I also discussed this, and I see how much he tries to integrate me into his system as a player in the field of the field. I think that this idea is great potential, I will always try to look for my chance and I will realize the opportunities as best as possible that I have both in training and in the game. So we continue to work hard.
Yes, on the rights of one of the oldest Brazilians of the team, I always try to try on the role of a leader who will be able to tell young players and somewhere a little remind them of the importance of concentration, since the style of the game preached by Mr. requires high concentration, without exaggeration, from start to final whistle. Therefore, it is important not to forget to concentrate on the game, which is sometimes characteristic of young people, and I try to help them with some hint, share my own experience. For me, it is a nice duty that I love with my compatriots.
Artificial field? This is really a field where we have not too much game experience. But, I think, in any case, it cannot be an excuse: if we are a team that is aimed only at the highest results and achievements, then, of course, we will focus on our level, which is quite high. Despite the possible difficulties that may arise directly during the game, I am convinced that it will in no way affect our dedication and the desire to demonstrate your best football, ” – quotes Pedrignyo’s words FC Shakhtar’s official site.
