Artem Frankov: "Damn it, Shakhtar have five points, when initially it seemed one for happiness"

Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov shared his impressions of the match of the 4th round of the Champions League group stage between Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid (1:1) that took place yesterday in Warsaw.

“A gross mistake at the end of the game. But Kroos and Rüdiger have already warned, they have already shown this weapon... There is no selflessness in this - the vain hopes of the defenders, the lateness of the goalkeeper. It's a shame, damn it's a shame (no injustice - where from?), but it's more important that Trubin and Rüdiger have everything in order with their health.

And yet I will say: there is no reason for despondency - except for a moment. This moment, this goal spoiled the impression, but did not change it in general.

Bravo, Shakhtar! Bravo, Jovicic! Bravo, Zubkov and the guys! I have already said, but I repeat again and again: to admire; envy; to study; no excuses left.

But Prince Igor was quite within his reach for many years... Do you remember how he was mocked after Karpaty and borscht?! No, they sounded completely different names all the way))) (((

Of course, there are certain circumstances. Only you need to know how to use them, or even tear them off alive, with meat and blood! In our time, this is much more valuable than skill, which often simply has nowhere to come from.

Damn it - five points, when initially it seemed like one for happiness... And the fight, the real fight for the playoffs, even if the beaten Leipzig took the lead. Alga, dear ones!” Frankov wrote in his telegram channel.
