Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Igor Jovicevic talks about the draw of his side's match with Oleksandriya (1-1) in the 25th round of the Ukrainian Premier League.
Igor Jovicevic"There is a taste of dissatisfaction with the result, but only with the result. There are no complaints about the game, combinations, ideas, intensity and pressure.
Once again, the implementation failed. I don't know how many corners we had, in the last three games we had almost 40 corners. We even have chances, but something doesn't work. I think this is due to psychological pressure, because now the price of each shot is increasing, unlike when you first started this project. With the pressure coming from us, it used to be 3-0, 4-0, and now the tension is growing. You think there's no time, and you start rushing with the last shot, the last pass.
You just need to calm down, because we are playing very well, putting pressure on the opponent and exhausting them, but the implementation is not optimal at the moment. We don't turn combinations and draws into scores.
We lost two points, unlike Dnipro-1, who took advantage of today and won. They do their job perfectly in all areas and segments. We can see this in their game and some episodes, so we have to fight not only with our opponents, with ourselves, but also with some episodes that you cannot control.
Anyway, we have five finals ahead of us, so I think with this kind of game we have a great chance to make our dream come true. We need to calm the team down, not make a tragedy of this result, because it's only the result that's disappointing, not the game itself. The execution was a bit of a letdown, I hope it will improve in the next games and we will be able to achieve our dream," said Jovićević after the match against Oleksandriya.
