Shakhtar head coach Patrick van Leeuwen commented on his side's 1-2 defeat to Vorskla Poltava in yesterday's match on Matchday 9 of the Ukrainian Premier League.
Patrick van Leeuwen"I believe that the reason for the defeat is psychological. Indeed, we have lost too many points in games due to draws, and now due to defeat. I think the players understand what they have to do. In this match, we also started well, had chances and had to finish them. That's part of professional football, that's what you have to do when you have a busy schedule.
We lack the quality to finish the game and our chances. The players understand, they know and they emphasise it during the discussion, but it's not enough - they need to implement it in the end," said van Leeuwen after the match against Vorskla.
