Gendir Shakhtar spoke about the last victory over Metalist 1925 and the upcoming meeting with Monaco.
The day before Donetsk Shakhtar managed to beat Metalist Kharkiv 1925 in a difficult match in the fourth round of the Ukrainian Premier League (2: 0), thanks to which he did not lag behind the leading group of teams.
The Pitmen's general director Sergei Palkin shared his emotions about the result of this confrontation, and also spoke about the upcoming match with Monaco in the Champions League qualification.
" Regarding the game - it is difficult to comment on something here. Because it is difficult to play against an opponent who actually puts three buses. But this is the reality of our championship. We must learn to resist such an opponent, learn to play this kind of football, because 95% of the games in the championship will be just like that.. Therefore, we need to adapt to the style of our championship and win more easily.. Now we have won - this is the main thing "
" Naturally, this had an effect, because our trick is speed.. When we turn on the speed, it is difficult for any opponent to resist us. Therefore, when playing in this mode, you need to distribute efforts, mainly physical, because physically it is very difficult to play practically every three days "
Shakhtar - Metalist 1925 2: 0 Video goals and match review " The head coach's idea is clearly visible today. Football players are trying to follow this idea.. Maybe in some moments it doesn’t work, but it’s a long enough journey.. Learning to play the football that our coach preaches is difficult enough. He needs to be brought to automatism, and every player should be able to do this, regardless of whether he plays at the base or is on the bench.. When we achieve this, I think all the matches will be much easier. "
\? We believed that Traore will realize all his moments and give results.. Of course, we are happy with all the acquisitions, because the main answer is whether they are playing or not.. Today they are the players of the foundation, and this is the answer to all questions.. Speaking specifically about Traor, the guy scores in almost every game.. This is very important for us and for him.. I think, the further, the number of realized chances will be an order of magnitude greater "
" The main thing is to have a good rest in order to be physically ready for this match.. The game will be very difficult, we all understand this perfectly. Monaco is a very strong team that recently also made significant acquisitions.
You need to be concentrated and play football, which our fans like, which our coach preaches and which meets our philosophy, "
As a reminder, the first meeting between Monaco and Shakhtar will take place on August 17 at 22:00 Kyiv time.. The return leg in Kiev is scheduled for August 25 at 22:00.
