- Shakhtar are more fresh at the moment. We have less time for reconditioning due to our tight schedule. In the first half we acted too defensively. After the break we had a chance when the score was 1:1, but didn’t use it. Anyway, the season has just started. The president of the club has supported the team. Our most important game is against Club Brugge KV on Tuesday. Everyone knows that.
We weren’t going to defend for 70 minutes, but we made too many mistakes when switching from defense to attack.
Every game matters to us. Of course no one wants to lose. As for our duel against Brugge, it consists of two legs. After the match in Belgium I watched two more fixtures – Porto vs Krasnodar and Basel vs LASK. They also demonstrated mediocre football. Everyone cares about final score first of all.
Speaking about Tsyhankov, he isn’t hundred per cent ready yet. It was risky to include him into the starting lineup, but he needs to play to recondition, so we planned to give him some game practice.
Rodrigues? Today he was a forward, but actually we’re going to use him differently. Anyway, I think he’ll enforce our attacking potential.
