The Girniky coach shared his thoughts and emotions after the game with Victoria.

Head coach of Donetsk Shakhtar Marino Pusic commented on his team’s victory in the 1/4 finals of the Ukrainian Cup against Victoria (3:0) from the First League.

" You're so respectful. I am glad that we were given, having welcomed our footballers, and they also contributed a lot of energy, respecting those we played. I'm already happy. We controlled the game and played with the ball for more than an hour. It is possible, it is still necessary to fully understand certain moments, for example, the completion of attacks, and I am satisfied with the way we played, the energy we showed. All the boys deserve praise.

How to set it to Sikanu, when it comes to replacement? This is what I give to the players when they come in for replacement: how to gain a position, what to do for what purpose, what game moments, how to pick zones. Tse shodo attack. And if we talk about defense, which was demanded at that moment, then this energy and aggressiveness are put before work, as always on a high level. Having said that it is important to be on the balls if you connect, if the game requires your presence. At the hour of the match, talking about the attack, how to reverse the position, but open up and create space for others. Small details that could have helped you and the whole team at that time. Tips for good positioning. I won’t say exactly what it is.

The Ukrainian Championship makes its debut with a match against Dynamo, as coached by Shakhtar's legendary mentor Mircea Lucescu? I don't think about such speeches. I place myself in esteem before all coaches, so for me there is no great difference. Of course, we give respect to what a supernik he is. This is important game, derby, rich in emotions. I understand that I will consult with a qualified specialist.

I always think only about the first of the upcoming matches, and this evening. I felt that these players would be more energetic because we played a very important match with Barcelona. The new team is less valuable, and I also want to learn how the players perform in a serious official match, so that I can get to know them better. I know that there are songs of rage throughout football.

We must pay special attention to the upcoming match, so we need three days to prepare for the match with Dynamo, and most importantly, who we are losing. There will be a rotation of something - I don’t know what people think about this, but it means that in fact the skin in the warehouse is denying its chance and ability to show itself. And I appreciate that today's game was a great boon for him, but first of all, let me say that I do not underestimate my opponent, but release the players to benefit them from the right game. Since, as you know, there were only two training sessions, there was not enough time to prepare and learn them better. For me, the match paints the best picture, which is why I.

Zustrich s Dynamo 2020 Roku iz AZ, if I was a coach? At this early hour, during the coronavirus pandemic, there were no spectators at the stadium. It’s a pity, the situation is similar at the same time, and I’ll cover it even further through this. I remember we played in the great stadium, it seems, in the center of the place, and it was empty. There was one more match because UEFA decided that it would be necessary to play one more match if we were playing home and away.. It’s a pity that we gave up, but for those that I forgot, I guessed not very well.

Of course, a lot of speeches have changed: Dynamo has a lot of new players, the coach has not changed, but the warehouse is different. I'm in another club. There is also no connection with this match. I remember that it was important. That's all, nothing special.

I always watch a lot of games of upcoming super teams. The team wants to marvel at the film, but I tell you that I don’t have a lot of time for a movie, I can marvel at the film. I've watched a lot of super team matches, and that's how I work - I want to know everything. So, I’m just playing Dynamo, but I won’t tell you anything about it,” the club’s press service quoted Pusich as saying..
