"Rocket strikes were carried out the night before the next game. We went to the shelter. It may sound strange, but we were not afraid, we were just worried about our loved ones."
Oxu.Az reports that this was said by Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Arda Turan to the "Sky Sport" channel while talking about the difficulties of football life in Ukraine.
The Turkish coach stated that they could not sleep at all that night and emphasized that they never knew under what conditions they would play:
"In a normal club, you can return home a few hours after an away game. But it is not like that here. Sometimes it takes more than a day, and you can only resume work after 48 hours. This is not easy, because Shakhtar plays its games in Europe and practically plays every match away. To succeed, you have to step out of your comfort zone."
