Shakhtar head coach Arda Turan spoke with the media at the press conference after defeating Dynamo in the Ukrainian Championship (3:1).

“It was important for us to go through the days after the last battle in the Ukrainian Cup, so that we could develop the right skills. Today's team attacked well and demonstrated great defensive zeal. I especially want to highlight the beginning of the other half and Neverton’s incredible goal. Missing the ball is the result of the situation we analyzed, but I am completely happy with the team,” Turan said.

Following Denis Popov’s words about classic matches, Turan noted that the team does not depend on the identification of opponents in the media, but is determined by the result on the field.
