“It was a good game, with both positive and negative aspects. Like our last game in the Portuguese championship, where we also got three points. Yes, we have a certain plan, the players are sticking to it good – this is one of our merits. I also want to say that our opponent was also very active and showed his game, but again there are always moments that can be improved in the future.

I can say in general that we did not predict our opponent’s strategy in advance, but we played our own football. definitely, Miner – a very strong team, a leader in Ukraine and a famous club, but our approach is based on the fact that we must play the way we always play, without adapting to the opponent’s tactics, and build on our own actions .

As for tactics, everything is very simple: in the last match we played with three defenders, and now there are four. There are also players in the midfield to control the situation more. If we talk about some specific moments that allow us to play, then this is our 4-4-2 tactic, and the strategy that we have developed taking into account the individual characteristics of our players. In fact, there were some important moments that allowed us to win, but the main thing is that we enjoyed our game more than in some previous matches,” Conceicao said on the official website.

Let’s remember that the fight was earlier Porto commented the head coach Shakhtar Patrick van Leeuwen.
