Marino Pusic called on the fans of the Donetsk team to be realistic in determining priorities.
Shakhtar’s third place in the group stage of the Champions League was not a failure. This is what Shakhtar’s head coach of the Champions League thinks.
The specialist, assessing the miners’ performance in the autumn part of the season, called the participation in the Europa League a great success for the miners.
“I was really pleased with our performance in the Champions League. I liked the way we presented ourselves, the way we played. We got a lot of praise from a lot of people in Europe, top teams in Europe. They noticed how we performed and showed ourselves, which was very good. The results should be noted. And let’s be realistic: reaching the next round of the European Cup and qualifying for the Europa League is a great and important achievement for the club.
We fought until the last game in a difficult group, we tried to advance to the Champions League, so we can confidently say that this is a victory for us. I’m very happy with the way we played. I also believe that the compliments that are being given to us in Europe speak volumes,” Shakhtar’s official website quoted Pusic as saying.
We remind you that Shakhtar’s head coach also summed up his tenure as Pitmen’s coach.
