The Bosnian admitted he had to act as number two.
Shakhtar head coach Marino Pusic shares his thoughts on the upcoming match with PSV.
According to the Bosnian specialist, his team can win if they play well in defense and catch the opponent in counterattacks.
“They have the best players, so they will push us. We will be forced to play as number two. It’s not my style, but when you’re pressed, you’ve got to have good organization.
It is a challenge for us because in the Ukrainian Premier League we play number one, have the ball most of the time, dominate and score goals. When you play against such opponents in the Champions League, you know that sometimes you have to defend the result.
We have shown that in big games we can do it too. It’s not our style, but if it happens, we have to do it. Like I said, the best way to defend is to take the initiative and attack as well. Have a ball. I think Cruyff said that. The smartest coach of all time. He is 100% right and that is what we will try tomorrow. Can we do it? Let’s see tomorrow,” said Pusic.
Earlier, Pusic hinted that he might leave Shakhtar.
