Shakhtar’s legionnaire: “I missed football right from the starting minutes”

– I am convinced that, first of all, today our attitude towards the match was correct – that’s how you should treat any game, actually. And, I believe, we created many opportunities, unfortunately, we failed to realize them. However, as far as the picture of the game is concerned, the quality of our approach, I think we can be completely satisfied. The main thing is to continue to maintain the same pace and transfer it to the next matches.

– What prevented you from realizing your moments?

– I am sure that, given the previous negative experience, when we had to feel the bitterness of defeat for the first time this season, we have already drawn certain conclusions and continue to improve from match to match. We draw conclusions thanks to constant dialogue with each other, and I am convinced that today’s match will not be an exception. There was a bit of lack of execution, somewhere a bit of bad luck, but I still think that it was a decent game in our performance. And we will continue to move through the season with the same attitude.

– You haven’t had game practice for a long time, but today you spent a half and a half on the field. How do you feel now and how did the game feel?

– Of course, it is a great emotion – to return to the main team for the first time in three months. I missed football right from the starting minutes. Of course, I, like the whole team, aimed to win, and although this aspect could not be realized today, but in terms of emotions, it is the same pleasant fatigue. It’s nice to be on the field with your partners and benefit the team.

– This month will not be easy for Shakhtar, we have fundamental and important confrontations waiting for us. What should be improved now in order to get three points in the next matches?
