Press conference of Shakhtar head coach Marino Pusic after the UPL match with Rukh.

" Since we cannot feel disappointment after such results as today’s matches, we are wasting our time on the remaining battles, then we cannot learn the necessary lessons. I'm incredibly happy with the way the team played - we could have realized our chances better and won the match much earlier. We also talk about the need to be able to beat a result like 1:0. It's a pity we didn't get to do it today. As I have spoken, we are guilty of feeling disappointed. And we clearly understand today's. There are new games ahead, so we will prepare for them and learn from them a lesson."

" It is clear, as I have already said, if we talk about such a result as 1:0, then it deprives the opponent of room for maneuver and for the possibility of winning. Because of this sharpness, crispness and extremeness in the game, we were rejected by the remaining khvilins. So, I’m looking forward to seeing you, perhaps, here are given signs of the marriage of concentration, which we, madly, will work on.”.

“I respect that we had such a great first half, even from the point of view of our Volodymyr ball. Insanely, it was even more difficult to destroy its block, leaving the supernik with a small number of gravers behind. This also created additional pressure on us.

According to your opinion, they managed to turn over the ball a few times, but such overturnings did not lead to some extremely sensitive moments for our opponent’s victor. Tomorrow I will tell you that 1:0 is the result that you need to resist and steal. It’s a pity that we didn’t get anything today, that’s why we can do what we can,” said Pusic.

In the upcoming round, Donetsk Shakhtar will host Poltava Vorskla, just as Lviv Rukh will host Zhytomyr Polissya in the middle, and then we will go to the “Wolves” for the away match this weekend.
