In two matches of the Champions League, Shakhtar once scored a shot at the opponent's goal, resulting in a penalty against Sudakov in the game against Bologna.

Head coach of Donetsk Shakhtar Marino Pusic commented on the defeat of Atalanti (0:3) in the 2nd round of the Champions League. What words should I use on the official website of "

" Of course, just because only this part of it can be marveled at, but really, there’s nothing to say about it. Likewise, consider how many times you work in the field and how many times you create promising situations in order to earn.

Today will be an even tougher fight. We stood against the team, which for me is one of the best in Europe for the characteristics of the game. This team is physically very strong and proven. I appreciate that in the first 20 weeks we had a small number of rich situations, so that we could earn more, but could not put them in our bag. We tried to score. You need to score if you want to win. Ale mi couldn't. The other half has a lot more short-term and promising situations than the first, so the statistics do not tell the history of the game.

You need to know that it is very difficult to face a team with such polite footballers, their specific manner of playing one on one, strong physical abilities. We tried everything effectively: short attacks with various combinations, long attacks, which created the same situation.

I can’t call my team for anything. So, he will go to the dentist instead (sent to Guardioli’s words about Atalanta - approx.. It’s really important to fight against them. Not only did we miss this evening. You can tell Bayer's story at the Europa League final, and let Real Madrid face difficulties in the UEFA Super Cup. That’s why we have to be realists, as a team, and we are like that. This supernik is supposed to be great and master for us.

So, fighting against Atalanti, we knew that if you acted like before, you would have even less chances, so we tried to encourage them with singing actions in the spirit. We wanted to conquer the vast expanse beyond their remaining line. As I said, it worked out well during the first 20 episodes: there were a few promising episodes, but they were not aggressive enough to deal with these situations quickly. Well, that was the idea in the first half.

. But still, if you concede a goal against such a standard team, it is even more important to win.

And, unfortunately, we denied such a goal, although in the first half we created promising situations several times for Marlon and Kriskiv.

. And for us to play in front of a great number of people for the sake of justice. It really suits me. This is true football - you play for people. І atmosphere bula tezh duzhe garna. “Perhaps more people could come later in the evening, so we could, but we are however very pleased with the number of spectators at the stadium and the people for their encouragement,” Pusic said.
