Pusic spoke about the injuries Shakhtar leaders received in the game against Bologna

The head coach of the Donetsk club commented on the result of the opening match in the Champions League.

Marino Pusic was not satisfied with the referee’s decision in the opening match of the main round of the Champions League Bologna – Shakhtar.

According to the Pitmen’s head coach, his team was forced to lose two key players due to the actions of their opponents, while none of the perpetrators were punished.

At the same time, the specialist considers the draw result of the match in Italy to be logical.

“Of course, it all depends on how you look at the course of events in this match, you saw for yourself that the field is very inconvenient for the game, we cannot fully show our qualities on such grass our game strategy, our strategy, which we followed from the beginning of the match, then I think we worked completely – especially in finding free zones and if we analyze the match from the point of view of who won, then I think it’s a difficult point where both teams can be happy. treasury of positive results.

Honestly, I didn’t see what happened to Sikan there. I saw the end of the episode with Sikan lying on the grass, but not the collision itself. If we consider it from the general course of events in the match, we lost a player, then Hemp left immediately, and we also had to replace him. So in the 45th minute we were forced to use two substitution slots, and were given a penalty that was still not served in the first minutes, of course, it dealt a blow to the team and affected the course of events, so we had to find of additional morale. resources in ourselves to get out of the current situation. If we analyze the referee’s decision itself, I see it this way: we are left without an important player, we are forced to spend on a replacement, and the opposing team will not receive any penalty – in my opinion, it is not entirely correct if we are guided by the rules of football and the current regulations. However, specifically on the foul, I can’t say anything, because I didn’t have time to study the episode maybe there was a serious violation, maybe a small collision of the game, which, unfortunately, didn’t quite end; for Daniel. As for Sikan, tomorrow we will see in more detail what exactly he broke – maybe his nose, maybe another part of his face. But I assure you that this collision will not make him look better,” Shakhtar’s website quoted Pusic as saying.

We remind you that Bologna and Shakhtar played a goalless draw in the opening match of the main round of the Champions League.
