Veres — Shakhtar 1:1 Video of goals and review of the match 09/27/2024
“Red-and-black” avoided defeat by the current champion of Ukraine in the eighth round of the UPL, gaining one point. Shandruk singled out the strengths of the Donetsk people and shared his emotions from the match.
Shakhtar plays the ball very confidently. I even saw the statistics just yesterday – among the teams not in the top five leagues in Europe, this team is in the first position in terms of the quality of the game on the ball and the way out of pressing. A very organized team. Therefore, we understood: if we try to press the opponent high and open up, we will have problems. It is clear that they tried to play in a low block. We hoped for quick attacks and it worked – we drew with Shakhtar.
I am grateful to the guys. I know how hard and hard they work. Everyone wants a result right now. But there have been some changes in our team. There are legionnaires who do not speak Ukrainian – they do not even speak English. There are certain problems and it takes time. Therefore, I am very happy for the team. In my opinion, we are taking steps forward. Although not as fast as we would like.
Today Dmytro Godya started for the first time in an official match. Was it risky? The profession of a coach is a priori risky. We talked about it with the president. We are trying to survive on the sales of football players, so we have to develop the youth. And the young player cannot reveal himself, having been substituted twice.
Yes, we invited the experienced Ruslan Stepaniuk and Roman Honcharenko in the summer. But they have a lot of young people who are playing and progressing today. I believe that this progress will continue. Dmytro Godya basically earned this place during training. He is a talented guy. He knows it. The question is what is his goal in adult football. He must understand that in adult football there are certain rules that must be followed. But he is well done today. Despite the fact that we replaced it. We replaced both him and Mykhailo Protasevich only because both of them are not yet physically ready to play the entire match.
Replacing Ruslan Stepaniuk? He was not feeling well. The temperature rose. I haven’t seen him yet after the game – he immediately went home,” said the specialist.
It should be noted that in the next UPL round, Veres will meet with Zorya (October 5) on its own field.
