“It’s very important to say after such a match. First of all, I want to tell my team. Such matches do not have many chances, so it is necessary to realize those that are.

Meni cover that one episode with a share of gri. If you were surprised, we didn’t take the same penalty kick in the opponent’s half of the field - that’s all we need to say. Ale tse football, we will collapse further.

Arbitrators' decisions? I don’t know who is in charge there. The referee gave a penalty. In my opinion, in such matches there is a similar penalty - it’s too much. I was not yet surprised by the replay, but if I was surprised by VAR, I approached and noticed that Lassina was already pressing her legs and falling. In my opinion, this match does not have penalties. Ale is an arbiter, and praising such a decision.

We wanted to continue playing our football. After the goal, Shakhtar moved more into defense. There was more space, we wanted to play. But after this there were not so many moments.

It is necessary to be more aware of such situations, and even change your mind for this. Need to work more. I suspect that in such matches we will have more chances. We try and work hard, so I think everything will be fine.

Mladen Bartulovich sang after us. Having said this for self-sacrifice. Zagalom gra bula bolsh-mensh good. All is football: we lost today, but we are collapsing further. I hope that I have overcome more in the future,” said the Ukrainian Vikon..
