Oleksandriya head coach Kirilo Nesterenko commented on his team’s defeat in the UPL match against Shakhtar Donetsk (0:1).

“It is very important to oppose the current Shakhtar, since he is the leader of our championship and the team that carries this ensign in the European arena. We want success in Europe, and so does the whole of Ukraine.. This team, which does a lot of work, steadily attacks and presses. Today we tried to earn everything so that we could get glasses that are so valuable to us..

It was not possible for the command to defend itself with a low block. I respect that experts understand what I am talking about. We didn’t want to defend with a low block, but if you play against Shakhtar, often the stinks just squeeze you into this low block, and you need to endure, you need to prank your own interests and end up, obviously, in more such counterattacks, sweeps.

A good blow to Yada, who took the stand in the first half - the greatest moment? Of course, this is the shortest moment. Finally, the situation was not very good, but from the bench it seemed that Anton Pain might suffer at that critical moment, which was almost like a match. Obviously, more moments are required to win such games and gain points, but we understand that.

Before the goal, we didn’t hesitate to make a substitution in order to create a structural.

We wanted to add more freshness, so that even a great deal of running power has fallen on our forwards and central players - we wanted to add freshness, so that we would be more keen in our attacks.

I still want to shout out to our fans, because now I’m going to fly into our backyard even more. We would like to say that we are all at once – kerivnitstvo, the team and our fans,” - suggest the words of Nesterenko UPL TB.
