Former Shakhtar player Oleg Matveyev summed up the results of the Ukrainian league season.
Oleg Matveev- "The fight for the European Cups was particularly interesting. I agree that the level of play has dropped significantly. The teams are not very strong, but they compensated for their poor qualifications with their desire - they fought on the pitch, and that's a plus. The Ukrainian Championship was significantly weakened by the departure of Artem Dovbyk. Artem moved to Spain and there was no one to impress with his performance. 14 goals is a very weak indicator. Teams that claim to participate in European competitions must have forwards who are able to hit the opposition's goal at least 20 times a season," the expert said.
