Shakhtar Donetsk winger Marlos says “we expect to play our usual football” against Roma in the Champions League, as they’re sharper than the first leg.

The Ukrainian side hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg of their Last 16 tie, so only need to avoid defeat to make it to the quarter-finals.

“It will be an excellent opportunity to show what we can do,” Marlos said in the pre-match Press conference.

Shakhtar Donetsk winger Marlos says “we expect to play our usual football” against Roma in the Champions League, as they’re sharper than the first leg.

The Ukrainian side hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg of their Last 16 tie, so only need to avoid defeat to make it to the quarter-finals.

“It will be an excellent opportunity to show what we can do,” Marlos said in the pre-match Press conference.

“We know it will be difficult. Tomorrow we expect to play our usual football, if you follow Ukrainian football you’ll see that we like to impose our game.

“We’ll try to be the team we always are.

“Roma’s pressing game? Before the first leg we’d only played one league match, which is why we didn’t play perfectly.

“After the Coach’s words at half-time we played better.”

Marlos is likely to be up against Aleksandar Kolarov tomorrow, and he was asked if he’s been studying the Serbian.

“He’s a great player, very technical. We’ve studied the strengths and weaknesses of Roma, and we hope to show that tomorrow.”
