The sports director of Donetsk Shakhtar, Dario Srna, evaluated his team’s performance in the first part of the current Ukrainian championship. After 18 rounds, the miners occupy only the third place in the championship table, lagging behind the leading Dynamo by 10 points, but having one match in hand.
«Of course, no one is satisfied in the last six months with our situation in the Ukrainian championship: we have lost a lot of points — 15.
We are currently practically 10 points behind “Dynamo” (Kyiv), although we still have a match in hand with “Kryvbas,” which needs to be played. And God willing, there will be a seven-point difference, but for now we must say honestly and openly that “Dynamo” is a big favorite to win the Ukrainian championship», — quotes Srna the official website of Shakhtar.
