Belik on record-breaker Kante: He gave the team so many opportunities

Shakhtar U-19 head coach Oleksiy Belik has reviewed the team's highly productive season. The manager specifically highlighted the impact of striker Mohamadu Kante, who set a new record in the Ukrainian youth championship with 28 goals.

According to Belik, the forward's prolific scoring did not come as a surprise to the coaching staff. The coach praised the player's physical attributes, pace, and ability to win duels.

Kante gave the team so many opportunities. He is a tall and fast player who wins many duels and makes plenty of runs. The fact that he scored 29 goals is not a major discovery for me personally. Mohamadu has great potential for development. Oleksiy Belik

The coach noted that the staff conducted additional individual work with Kante. Belik expressed confidence that the striker could have achieved even higher numbers if there had been more training time.

Belik attributes the team's success to squad cohesion and an attacking philosophy. The team came close to breaking the records held by Dynamo for goals scored and Rukh for total points earned.
