Commentary by Shakhtar's head coach after the match against Vorskla.

Marino Pusic gave his comment after the match with Vorskla in the 16th round of the UPL.

“I respect that the match was already decided in the first half, that we played it very well: great pressure, a lot of good energy, we completely controlled the game in the first seconds - that was also very good. And, of course, if you go to the next half with such a result, then you still have thoughts in the upcoming match, but you still need to properly complete the current game.

In my opinion, the first 15 years of our lives were spent normally, there were a few possibilities, so that I could get something better, but they didn’t waste anything. Then I made a lot of substitutions in order to honor the great football players who work so hard and deserve in the game, and especially to honor the boys who played richly in the past. Tse bula peremoga is important for us, peremoga is important, in my opinion. I’m very pleased with today’s match, and what’s more is that everyone is healthy before the upcoming important match with Bayern.

We are closely associated with one of the greatest clubs in the world, so this is a fantastic call for us. Our goal again is to imagine the yakomog better in the world with such a rival. And, as always, we will strive to lead the game, following our philosophy.

This new format of the Champions League is completely different from the previous one. I'm still hurting for the front load from PSV, they dominated, they played 11 against 11. This is our chance to win points. And, of course, it will be important against Bavaria - in this aspect we must be realists. Nowadays we have ambitions to prove ourselves as better as champions in Liza,” said Pusic.
