Igor Linnik: "From a professional point of view, Shakhtar's victory over RB Leipzig is not accidental"

Well-known journalist Igor Linnik commented on the victory of Shakhtar Donetsk over the German RB Leipzig (4:1) in yesterday's away match of the 1st round of the Champions League group stage.

- Shakhtar pleasantly surprised me. Coach Jovicevich and his guys with a victory! Sincerely!

With this line-up, Shakhtar really represents Ukraine, and for the entire Ukrainian football, its confident victory in Leipzig (4:1) is extremely important. It will add confidence to all our clubs.
It doesn't matter at all that Shakhtar was partially helped to win mistakes and rebounds from the Germans - the score on the scoreboard always speaks for itself. Especially such an account.

Moreover, after this away victory, Jovićević's team immediately made a serious bid to leave their Champions League group. In any case, now it is Shakhtar that is her second favorite. And what will happen next - we'll see.

It must be admitted that Shakhtar's attempt to assemble one of the variations of the second squad of the Ukrainian national team under their banners is the best solution for them in the current situation.

Yes, and the candidacy of a coach for solving just such a task, perhaps, was chosen correctly. Nevertheless, before returning to Ukraine, Croatian Jovicevich managed to have a hand in the revival of Dynamo Zagreb, which now also does not shy away from anyone.

So from a professional point of view, all this is not accidental. And, of course, there would be no happiness, but misfortune helped ...

Will live! Glory to Ukraine!! Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!!!,” Linnik wrote on his social Facebook page.
