Maksim Shatskih insisted he did not feel himself a hero after eyeing a double in Dynamo victory over Kryvbas. “It is just a great sensation when your team wins 3-0 when showing a good display”.
Will Shakhtar’s defeat by Tavriya be a psychological stimulus? “I think it will. However, we should not follow their games. Our priority is to do better in every single game and to get the maximum points. Only the encounters of the last week will cross the t’s and dot the i’s”, added the striker.
His teammate Oleksandr Aliyev also admitted the news that Shakhtar had been beaten made the team act with double energy and enthusiasm. “We knew that tonight’s win would send us top table, with Shakhar, however, having one game in hand”.
The midfielder appeared as a late second-half sub in the last two matches, having scored a goal in Wednesday’s Cup game against Metalurh Donetsk. Is he hopeful to be chosen for the next starting eleven? “My job is to work hard in training and prove I am worth to play for the first team. Whether I will come in the starting lineup or as a sub is of secondary importance for me”.
