Polesya defender: “Shakhtar is a great team, but we always want more”

Defender of Zhytomyr Polissia Eduard Sarapiy shared his emotions after a draw in the match of the ninth round of the Ukrainian Premier League against Shakhtar Donetsk (0:0).

“We tried to press higher, but Shakhtar is still a great team, and that’s why we didn’t always succeed in pressing. But we wanted to be aggressive, we always wanted to be in the press and win the ball as much as possible in the other half of the field.

Two great teams played. But you always want more. Yes, we were somewhat different than usual, we did not create many chances, but I believe that in the 1st half we could have scored and already played according to the result. But it will be an experience for us as well. And a draw is not enough for us, because we are an ambitious club

We knew the result of the game Zorya – Dynamo, but we did not follow because we were preparing for our game. We saw that Budkivsky scored – and that was it, we didn’t know anything else.

Is this the most emotional match? Probably, but I usually do not pay attention to the eyebrow. But I know our coaches, how ambitious they are and passionate about this game. Each of our matches is like this – because we always strive for the best and strive to win. They are no exception, and I believe that I will go into the locker room now and they will tell us the same way that a draw is not enough,” said Sarapii.
