Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Igor Jovicevich talks about his team's draw with Oleksandriya (2:2) in yesterday's match of the 10th round of the Ukrainian Championship.
Igor Jovichevich“One player was missing to play even better. Oleksandriya is a very good team that made the game difficult for us. The opponent is in great shape, fresh. In the course of the game, we could have deserved to win, at the same time, Oleksandriya showed that they play good, dangerous, fast football - the result is natural.
The match turned out to be tough: there were a lot of not-so-good moments, but we coped, fought and were able to turn the game around after a quick goal and sending off. We scored two goals and were energetic after the air raid, began to dominate, sharpen, stabilize the game. But the removal destabilized the team, and we had to adapt to the opponent.
This result will not spoil our mood. After the Champions League, it is always hard for everyone, as Chelsea, Atlético and others show. We must think positively, draw conclusions from this match and recover for a very important match against Leipzig. We have a game against a top team, which is at a high level, which shows in every game. We are in for a tough fight, but with our fans, who will give us energy, we will try to make a miracle," said Jovicevich.
