Shakhtar defeated Veres in a difficult match
Head coach Shakhtar Igor Jovicevich commented on the victory over Veres (2:1) in the match of the 27th round of the championship of Ukraine. The mentor noted the importance of this result.
“The championship is a marathon. In addition to technique and tactics, the psychological factor plays an important role here. This is the first year of our new project. We have a lot of new players, we experiment a lot. Of course, the team is under stress. None of them had ever played at this level before. We are three games away from the championship in the first year of this project. The cost of a mistake is very high. And therefore – a big respect to the team.
In fact, we deserve more in every match. Go to the break with the score – 3:0. The psychological instability of the young team plays its role. But we have people who add balance. These are Yaroslav Rakitsky, Taras Stepanenko, Nikolay Matvienko – this is very important for us.
These final three games of the championship are like finals for us. And the finals are not played, the finals are won. And these are matches in which you also need to be able to endure. Congratulations to the team on three points and we are getting ready for Zara,” said Jovićević.
Shakhtar regained leadership in the standings of the championship of Ukraine. In the next game, Jovićević’s team will play against Zorya on May 24.
