Interview with the Girnikiv mentor.

Shakhtar's head coach Marino Pusic gave an interview to the club website, in which he filled his bags for the first part of the season.

About the first months of being in the settlement “It looks like more than an hour has passed, so it must be a hectic period. I arrived the day before the match with Barcelona. We played a lot of matches, spent at least an hour on the road at the same time, so everything feels better.

The most important moment was that the team and all the staff at the club welcomed me very warmly and worked in such a way that I felt good. Immediately I heard the song, the energy flowed. These are important foundations for further development and innovation.

It is also important that the team accepted my football philosophy in every detail, and even though I was already trying and trying to make the necessary connections, it was extremely acceptable to study and understand. My graves successfully carried out the first stage. What we are playing is even more important, what are the results and goals that we have achieved over the past two months.

Well, before the championship, we have one program and one draw, but it would be important to lose the top positions in the table, and we will remain there. Since two transfer games are played, we refer to the first place.

In the European Cup we played a historic match against Barcelona. Varto means that I feel the same way, but our victorious duel deserves special respect. How will we win the continued European campaign after the winter break?. Before special moments, then for a while we work together with the team and everything in the club. If the atmosphere is great, so is the achievement."

About coaching staff. I can’t yet confirm whether this process has been completed. Perhaps another specialist will be needed.

I'm glad that we are already very close to the coaching staff, which is what we want to do. I’m working on this to close all the food until the harvest starts. I’m pleased with the result, even though it’s a difficult time for the season: the rich have signed contracts with clubs, the stink of work is stinking, and it’s not so easy to convince people to come due to the situation in Ukraine.

I have given a good butt, I am sure that I will not let other people earn money from anyone directly, because I am a person who is not afraid of strange things and not of self-destructiveness.. It is possible, perhaps, that a few people will reach us in the coming years, if we are satisfied with the current situation."

About Shakhtar’s Gravians “One thing is to analyze the team as a rival, and quite another thing is to work with it every day, even in difficult situations. This wonderful group is ready to work hard. Acts of speech vary less - sometimes positively, sometimes negatively - but this is a normal process.

When you get to know people better, you begin to better understand their potential. For those who are less important, they put it before work. We need to thoroughly understand this, so there is room for development. Don’t worry, the boys can do good in football, even before tse bachiv.

I have increased the potential of this team: some are developing rapidly, others are only working in the coming years. This is a normal logical process at this stage. It suits me best that they really try and understand the football philosophy that I want to convey.

I should like to hear those that I have studied up to this point, those who are trying to understand my philosophy. As I said, I see great potential in the team, and obviously, like the entire team, we have a lot of room to grow. We can and will work for our development.

As a team, as a club, we are always looking for opportunities to improve our skills, as well as to improve the strength of the drivers that we need. Therefore, I am very pleased that most of the graves will quickly follow my philosophy and pay off their contribution."

About the UPL “We are already in the leading part of the table, although we share a position with other teams. The competition is fierce. It is possible that Shakhtar himself is more difficult, even if we compete in European competitions, so we can spend a lot of time on travel and training, providing a lot of energy.

There is also a significant difference in the atmosphere in the stadiums of different tournaments, so we have to cope with this psychological aspect. It’s not easy, but we continue to get better and have already shown that we can dominate.

We were told that we would still have to win the championship, since there were a lot of teams that give superiority in defense - it’s not easy to fight against such super teams. Ale, as I have already said, we have shown that these are competitors and that they are candidates to fight for the championship. We are not the only ones, there are many more teams. Our friend is counting on us for part of the season,” Shakhtar’s mentor said in an interview with the official website.

Guess what, Pusic defeated Shakhtar at the end of 2023, after which he defeated “Girniki” in the playoffs of the European League. In the UPL "
