Patrick Van Leven will stand on the lines of Maccabi Tel Aviv tonight (Thursday, 22:00, Sport1) and meet a well-known rival in the last 32 stages of the Europa League.

The Dutchman has worked for seven long years as the professional director of Shakhtar Donetsk's youth department and tonight he will meet some players who have passed under his watchful eye.



"I do not know Maccabi Tel Aviv very well, but I follow her coach, my good friend Patrick Van Leven," said former Ukrainian national team midfielder Yevgeny Levchenko, who spent most of his career in the Netherlands. "Van Leven knows everything about Shakhtar. From head to toe, and of course he knows Ukrainian football and especially all his weak points. He watched Shakhtar's game against Colos earlier this week and learned a lot from him. Maccabi will not go ahead and attack with a large number of players. Shakhtar has a slight advantage, but fitness Its current level raises doubts. "



The Ukrainian champions will miss defender Ismaili and striker Dentinho tonight and Levchenko warned: "The difference between Shakhtar with Ismaili and Shakhtar without him is heaven and earth. He works non-stop, both defensively and offensively and Shakhtar will be sorely lacking. "The team arrives in the European arena with one striker, Junior Moras. I do not know what form he is in, it is clear that when he is at his best, he is a player who can conquer out of nowhere. Tyson, Solomon and Konplianca are excellent, but a winger can not replace a striker .

Victor Grachkov, one of the team's greatest players of all time, said: "If we were in March or April, there were no doubts about the winner. But at the moment things are not entirely clear with Shakhtar and Shakhtar is not coming in optimal condition. It will not be easy for Shakhtar. "



Grachkov, who won two Soviet Cups with the team in the 1980s and was crowned the top scorer of the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983/84, added: "Maccabi Tel Aviv is a dangerous team, a weak team cannot reach the playoffs of the Europa League. "I have to treat the team in front of it the way it treats a big European rival. I think it has a small advantage and if I have to bet on the result, I will say 1: 2 to Shakhtar."
