"Chornomorets" lost to "Shakhtar" with a score of 1:2 in the Ukrainian championship match. The coach of the Odesa team, Oleksandr Babich, compared this meeting to the recent match of the opponent in the European cups.
"The whole team performed well. We played as "Shakhtar" played against "Arsenal". We were "Shakhtar", and they were "Arsenal". We played a lot against the ball, fought. Until the last moment, we tried to get a draw, but after such matches, you can see what you need to work on further. Especially in attack.
If it had been a draw, I would have been the happiest person in the world. We also conceded after such a corner, when our player cleared the ball in a simple situation. From that, we conceded. Of course, the opponent has a level. Brazilians accept the ball on their chests and bring it down to their feet, that's class," Babich said.
