- In the first half we weren’t aggressive enough. We switched from defense to attack very slowly. Shakhtar didn’t give us much space. In the second half we were more active. Tsytaishvili did a good job, but we still lack strikers. We had good support and played pretty well, but we have attacking problems. We do what we can.
- What’s wrong with Verbic and why did you substitute Shaparenko?
- Verbic asked for substitution. We don’t know when he recovers. He wasn’t 100% ready to play. As for Shaparenko we needed more aggression in his position.
- There were no shots on goal…
- There were a lot of crosses from both sides, but we didn’t have a finisher to use them.
- What do you think of de Pena?
- He did what we wanted him to. He’s attacking player whose task is to put the ball into the penalty area. But let’s not hurry. So far he lacks confidence.
- Shall we see more lineup experiments this season?
- We’ve had enough experiments. We’re seven points behind Shakhtar and we know which positions must be enforced. Anyway, we’ll fight till the end.
