Before that, he also won league championships in Romania and Turkey, and also won the European Super Cup when coaching Galatasaray.
There is no doubt about the strength of such a veteran coach, especially his on-the-spot command ability, which is among the top in Europe. Many clubs offered high prices to poach him, but the coach refused them all. His heart is in Ukraine, and he likes it here.
Precisely because of his many years of coaching experience at Shakhtar Donetsk, he is also very good at training the team's young people. In recent years, many world-class stars have emerged from Shakhtar Donetsk, and they have all shown their abilities in the five major leagues.
Despite this, Shakhtar Donetsk's talent seems to be inexhaustible, and it is constantly emerging, making countless European giants covetous. Especially this summer, if the old coach hadn't forced him to keep people, maybe the entire first team of Shakhtar Donetsk would have to be replaced now!
Looking at Yunsheng in front of him, Lucescu shook hands with him in a friendly way: "I finally met the famous Chinese champion coach. It's such an honor."
Facing the old coach, Yun Sheng said very humbly: "I am very happy to have the opportunity to teach with you. Today will definitely be a wonderful contest."
Looking at Yunsheng's young face, Lucescu sighed repeatedly: "You are younger than you look on TV. Such a young marshal has achieved achievements that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime. It is really admirable. Yes. Well, when I saw you in an interview before, you said that Shakhtar Donetsk had a chance to win the Champions League? Man, your words are too exaggerated..."
Yun Sheng shook his head and looked at the old coach with a very serious expression: "I definitely speak from the bottom of my heart. Now Shakhtar Donetsk's first team is full of talented people. It is definitely not inferior to any European giants. Its strength has already reached Well, as long as you have more luck, you will definitely have a chance to compete for the championship."
Looking at Yunsheng with a serious look on his face, Lucescu sighed: "Listening to what you said, it seems that you know our team very well. I originally planned to play the pig and eat the tiger in this game, but now it seems , It’s not easy to win..."
"Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger", "want to win", hearing these words, Yun Sheng felt more confident. Shakhtar Donetsk definitely did not come to the Champions League this season to experience it. Lucescu Definitely very ambitious!

Center Eduardo was once a star that Wenger valued very much, but the tragic leg breakage caused his condition to completely decline. After joining Shakhtar in 2010, his condition has also been greatly improved. This summer, there were even rumors that Wenger considered bringing him back to the Emirates Stadium after Robin van Persie left to continue to cultivate this former Croatian genius forward.
Brazilian forward Teixeira, with his superb ball control and passing abilities, was once very close to top clubs such as Liverpool. However, he switched to the Chinese Super League in 2016 with a transfer fee of 50 million euros.

However, these things will happen in the future, and only Yun Sheng knows it in his heart.
In the locker room after the warm-up, Yun Sheng once again asked the players, his expression was very serious.
"I warn you again, the opponents in this game are definitely not easy to deal with! They are very strong, especially the players in the midfield and frontcourt. Although they are all young now, they are very talented. In this game we We must take it seriously and go all out!”
"As long as you relax a little bit, then we may stumble in Ukraine in this game and return empty-handed! I can accept the opponent's wonderful performance calmly, and I will not blame you even if we lose the ball; but I will never You will be allowed to lose the entire game because of your carelessness and underestimation of the enemy!"
"This is our first Champions League game of the season. I ask you to play to the level you deserve and don't let your guard down!"
