The head coach of Finnish Ilves Joonas Rantanen commented on a draw in the match-answer of the first round of the Europa League against Donetsk Shakhtar (0-0).

“I am proud of the team. Today, their dedication and hard work were at the height. We changed the scheme and played in a link of four players, although we did not have time to work as well. This scheme has things that we can take with us in the future. I feel that we can continue to use this scheme. They would be a villa kumpa who had a really quality match today.

Our goal was to improve our game and the result of last week – I think we succeeded. The result is at least satisfactory, even beautiful. Of course, I must say that we also had our difficulties today. The opponent had several goal points, but on the other hand, we avoided failures. In general, I am proud of the team play. It was a complex match and in this regard there are difficult moments, because we fought a lot.

We need to remember that next Thursday we are waiting for the European Cups. This home experience is what we have been able to do today will give us confidence in the home game. We will have to meet a very strong team again. As we said before the game, adaptation to the conditions is absolutely necessary. I am sure that these two matches will help us in this, “the club’s press service suggests.
