The captain of Shakhtar assessed the success of LNZ in the UPL: “Few people expected it. It will be interesting”

Captain of Shakhtar Donetsk Mykola Matvienko assessed the performances of Cherkasy LNZ in the current season of the Ukrainian Premier League. “Violets” are ahead of “miners” in the tournament table according to additional indicators.

– Is it surprising to you that LNZ managed to give Shakhtar such serious competition?

– To be honest, few people expected to see the Cherkasy team at the top of the tournament table. But LNZ are well done, they showed their potential, they are well prepared physically. So it will be interesting in the spring.

– By the way, was the match against LNZ, in which Shakhtar lost 1:4, the worst performance of the “miners”?

– Yes. And I would also note the match of the group round of the Conference League against “Legia”, Matvienko said.

In the current season of the Ukrainian Premier League, Shakhtar is on the second step of the tournament table, having 35 points after 16 matches. Arda Turan’s wards are inferior to Cherkasy LNZ in additional indicators.
