Head coach of French Marseille Gennaro Gattuso summarised the results of his team's first match against Shakhtar Donetsk (2:2) in the Europa League play-off for the right to enter the 1/8 finals of this tournament, which took place yesterday in Hamburg.
Дженнаро Гаттузо"It is very difficult for me to comment on the result of this match. I've been in football for 30 years, but I've never had situations like today (apparently, we are talking about the dramatic end of the match, when first Marseille took a 2-1 lead in the 90th minute of the game, and then Shakhtar managed to equalise the score in the third minute of the second half - editor's note).
We were very close to victory, but we missed it. This draw looks like a defeat, so I can't talk with a smile on my face now.
I have to be objective, but I have no explanation for what happened. We really missed a great opportunity to win. Nothing, now we will be even angrier, and this will hopefully help us in the next matches. But for now we are all very upset," Gattuso said after the match against Shakhtar.
