Former player of the national team of Ukraine and Donetsk Shakhtar Yaroslav Khoma shared his impressions of the victory of the miners in another Champions League match against the French Brest (2:0).
Yaroslav Khoma (photo: football24.ua)— It was hard to believe that this was Shakhtar's first official match of the current year, unlike the French team. First of all, the advantage of the miners was felt not only in the speed of movement on the field but also in their thinking.
In the absence of Danilo Sikan, who decided to continue his career in Turkish Trabzonspor, the miners slightly adjusted their tactical structure, often using vertical passes, forcing the slow defenders of the guests to make mistakes.
The actions of the Ukrainian club yesterday left a holistic impression. Shakhtar rightfully recorded the victory in their favor, and it is only regrettable that earlier they did not manage to overcome PSV and Bologna. Then the chances of the Ukrainian team to advance to the next round would have been significantly higher, — believes Khoma.
