Former Ukraine midfielder Oleh Shelayev shared his impressions of the match of the 2nd round of the group stage of the Conference League between Icelandic Breidablik and Luhansk Zorya (0:1).
Oleg Shelaev"I had good emotions from watching this match. Most importantly - the match was interesting to watch. Earlier, the famous coach Eduard Malofeev spoke about "sincere football", which you should strive to play. I saw something similar in Reykjavik. Attacking football is always nice to watch, and Zorya got involved in this game.
In general, until the 80th minute of the game, the Luhansk team created a lot of dangerous chances at the opponent's goal. Statistical indicators speak about it. "Zorya" made 16 shots on goal, 5 times disturbing the goalkeeper. Often players of our team ran 50 metres before hitting the opponent's goal. From the outside it seemed that neither Zorya nor the hosts had a midfield. They played "5 on 5". I am exaggerating, of course, but it was often like that. Zorya players failed to dispose of the ball properly in the attacking phase," SportArena quoted Shelayev as saying.
