"It is very important that with such a team as Shakhtar we played a draw. I believe that this team is now the best in terms of play in Ukraine.

I am satisfied with the guys, their attitude, but I am not satisfied with the last 15-minute stretch of the match, when we returned to the pitch after the air raid: we stopped putting pressure on the opponents, allowed them to develop their attacks. As a result, we started to have problems in defence.

But overall I am very satisfied. Under certain conditions, we could have hoped for a better result," Rotan said at the post-match press conference.
