Stepaneko says Shakhtar will play differently against Roma
Shakhtar Donetsk put up a defensive show against Inter early this season in the Champions League group stage but their midfielder Taras Stepanenko said their game against Roma will be different.
The 31-year-old midfielder, who is out of action due to a knee injury, expects a very tight game between the two sides.
“The two situations are not comparable,”
he told Il Corriere dello Sport.
“Roma are different, since Dzeko doesn’t play.
“I expect a tight, interesting match between two teams who love to play football. They attack, and it will be an advantage for us.”
