David Khocholava believes that leaving the group in the playoffs of the Champions League now depends entirely on Shakhtar.

Shakhtar defender David Khocholava commented on the victory over Hoffenheim (3: 2) in the match of the 5th round of the Champions League group stage.

"We said that we came to Hoffenheim only to win. And from the first minutes it was necessary to prove this desire. I think we got it first.. But then. I don't know, we miss a lot in the Champions League. I want to thank the whole team for letting go, did not stop all 95 minutes. I think the fans really liked this game, "began the defender..

"New tactics worked very well today. There were many moments where we blocked the zones and they just beat the balls behind the back ".

"Removal in the Hoffenheim? They had nothing to lose, even considering the removal. They did not stop, did not sit down in defense. Instead of five players, four began to attack.. I think nothing has changed. ".

"We tried to play football, go through the pass, risked. Many, having looked at our lineup and tactics of five defenders, thought that we would play from defense. It was a very good coaching move: go to counterattacks and win center field ".



"The chances of reaching the playlist of the Champions League? Everything is in our hands. The main thing is to go out and win with Lyon ", - Khocholava summed up in the comments to the TV channel Football.

Miner after 5 rounds scored 5 points and is in third place. Lyon after a draw with Manchester City (2: 2) finished second with seven points. Lead in the quartet team of Josep Guardiola - 10 points. Hoffenheim has 3 points and, for now, the last place.
