Shakhtar midfielder Oleksandr Zubkov spoke about the team's performance this season.
"Pusich gave us more freedom. Changed the structure of the game. Especially in the transition from defence to attack. In particular, our edge defenders have started to act tighter. This allows us to better prepare for the transition element.
We score less than Dynamo this season, because opponents play very closed against us. Therefore, it is a little bit difficult for us. But we are working on it. I think sometimes we need more shots on goal, because sometimes we try to roll it into the goal.
The most unyielding defenders in UPL are Dibango from Kryvbas and Dubinchak from Dynamo. And also our Pedrinho.
If I spend all the next years of my career at Shakhtar, it will be super. What England? I am already 28 years old," Zubkov is quoted by the UPL.TV TV channel.
Против Динамо играют открыто все без исключения. Никаких "замков", никаких "автобусов" - только бедному Шахтёру страдать приходится.
"Шахтер играет в еврокубках, поэтому я запретил игрокам играть жестко"...
"Сегодня я решил поэкспериментировать, и поставил бразильских нападающих в защиту"...(в матче с ШД)
