Shakhtar Donetsk manager Valeriy Bondar commented on the draw result in the opening round match of the main stage of the Champions League against PSV (1:1).
" It is very important to evaluate in the middle if you are on the field, but I think that neither we nor PSV created many chances to score another goal. Of course, there were a lot of people who changed their minds, but we couldn’t get through them quickly. I think this will be a great lesson for us. Of course, we want to get the maximum, and it’s even worse that we’re missing out on the first half of the second half.
At the break they had to play the same way as in the first half, continue to follow the same rhythm, defend with the same block. We realized that the team, as they are playing at home, for such encouragement, moving forward with all their might, the stadium is moving forward. That's why we found out who we got, but, chantingly, we took a lot of sweets at that moment and missed the wrong ball.
Marvel at how PSV plays. 6:1, 3:1, 5:2. Like hockey rats. As a whole, it’s amazing that this team, which plays head-to-head, is very strong and strong. Of course, it is very important to resist such gravity in terms of physics. But I think that, in principle, the boys worked hard, fought and earned everything to bring one ball to Ukraine.
PSV grave one on one across the entire field? These individual advantages of football players. The stench of guilt turns on in all graves. Change the roc, collapse again and as if you need to get lost, grab the ball and still work the difference one on one. Because if you play one-on-one, then everything lies in the graves - how the stench collapses, opens up, beats or doesn’t beat. If we don’t beat, it’s an attack on our goal, but if we beat, it’s a potential moment. There was a lot of that in the individual strengths of football players,” Bondar said on MEGOGO..
