“Oleksandr Demchenko talked about the period of performances in Donetsk’s Shakhtar”, — write: sport.ua
– Why did you have to leave Shakhtar after a year?
– Well, how? Coach’s decision. Was no longer suitable as a player. That’s all. This is Shakhtar, where breeders work 24/7. If you slacked off somewhere, someone else will take your place already at lunchtime.
It was a bit strange for me, because for U-14 I played most of the matches – 60-70 percent. However, this was not enough. Maybe I was showing the wrong game or relaxed somewhere.
You have no right to relax there. You must constantly keep yourself in good shape. Not immediately, but over time I took it as a lesson.
– Did you yourself feel that you were inferior in skill to those guys who remained?
– But no. I felt that I showed and played well. Perhaps it was so. At the same time, I’m not saying that I was a prodigy at Shakhtar, and I was kicked out unfairly. There is a coach and his vision. I don’t regret anything, said Oleksandr.
