FC Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Igor Yovychych commented on the choice of the scheme of the game against Dynamo Kyiv in the match of the 22nd round of the Ukrainian championship, which will be held this coming Saturday, April 22 in the capital.
"What scheme will the team play against Dynamo? I do not know. You proceed based on who you have on the profile of the players. I am not a slave to one scheme. I approach it chameleonically: I look at who I have, and then I look for the space where the player would feel best, have more time in this space and prove himself. Just adjusting to the profile of the players.
No wingers is a problem for us. You know that in the history of Shakhtar there have always been good wingers, and we had four top-notch wingers at the beginning of the season, and now there are none of them, who are considered the main ones.
Of course, it is difficult, but the more the victory is appreciated. You go further without injured players, give even more and have a championship character, mentality, take first place - that's just respect for the team. And I can be proud as a coach.
Is it difficult? It is difficult, very difficult. But you see, sometimes you have to win "through thick and thin", not just by playing well. Sometimes you can't play well, but you have to win pragmatically," Jovicevic said.
