"My opinion: Pushic made a mistake with Graham, and another fullback Pedro Henrique also played poorly. Yes, this Brazilian defender has good potential, but he made a lot of mistakes, allowed the opponent to beat him, make passes.
We can talk and discuss a lot, but for me, the current Shakhtar is the weakest team in the last decade. Of course, I don't know what's going on in the team now. Shakhtar's distinctive feature is speed and attacking play. It has been like that for all the years. No one knows what Pushic is instilling in Shakhtar now. "Atalanta could have scored 5-6 goals in this match. Although in the second half, the Italians stopped and played strictly for the result. Only in the second half did Donetsk try to create something at the opponent's goal.
In the Shakhtar vs Atalanta match, our players mostly stood near their penalty area and did not take the ball away. Perhaps it was the other way around, we had to give our all on the football field. It seems that the team from Bergamo played against a children's and youth league team on Wednesday. The players' class was so different," Vorobey said.
