“Shakhtar’s mentor held a press conference after the Q4 LK match with Swett”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
– I think we started the game well: we owned the ball, but had some problems with the speed of the ball, organization and positioning. Of course, it was not easy, because “Swett” was very well defended, and during the game it was raining heavy. In the second half, we missed the goal after the transition, and we were sorry because we worked on it and had opposition. Then we managed to keep peace and play. Our plan was to protect Kuaan Elias for the rest of the match, as well as to use the strengths of Pedrignyo when it enters the field. We are glad that we were able to realize this. We are also happy to win, because it was not easy. We went to the main stage, and it was our goal – to stay in the European Cups. I think we have given the right now and mistakes. Of course, we have plans for this tournament, a conference league. I do not know how far we can come, but we have big dreams.
– Congratulations on the victory! The first question is: what about Pedro Enrique and Oleg replaced? And what can you say about this unpleasant trend that many players get similar injuries
– I have not talked to a doctor yet. Tomorrow will be a long journey, about 10 hours to get to Lviv, and on Sunday we will have a match. Well, the health of my players for me in the first place, but we spent two games for 120 minutes and had about eight to nine matches in August. We have gone through this difficult period. We try to minimize the number of injuries, but I think it seems impossible to prevent them.
– Before the match, they announced the signing of two newcomers. Can we expect that the weekend transfers will be in the coming days?
– Now, during the planning, we will determine whether we will have new transfers, signing. We continue to invest in young players, try to build a team of the future. I want to thank Mr. Sergei Palkin, Dario and Sasha for what they did. Let’s see what we will need to do in the future.
