Honored Coach of Ukraine Myron Markevych shared his impressions of the Champions League Round 1 match between Bologna and Shakhtar (0:0):
"To be honest, the confrontation in Bologna was one of those that are not memorable. Low speed, few goal-scoring chances and non-standard decisions. Bologna are far from the same team as last season, and Shakhtar are still feeling feverish.
From the game, it's unclear which of the Miners is capable of taking on the role of leader. Georgiy Sudakov? It's hard to say, because I don't know where his confidence has gone.
Among the Miners, I liked only goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk and left back Pedrino. "Bologna were closer to winning, but the visitors' keeper saved everything that flew into the box. Respect to Dmytro, he was the best on the field," Markevych said.
