Luis Castro’s team lost twice to Borussia M.

Former Shakhtar Donetsk defender Vyacheslav Shevchuk commented on Pitmen’s loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach (0: 4) in the Champions League.

“The Shakhtar match was not a success both in terms of game and result. Shakhtar could not draw the proper conclusions, or perhaps they did, but at the moment they cannot provide Borussia with something new.” since all the goals were scored in set pieces, and attention and concentration are very important in set points.

I heard what Shakhtar head coach Luis Castro said, I totally disagree with him. For me, the numbers are an empty space, I did not see the quality of the Shakhtar game. The team now cannot use the defense outlet, there is no high pressure, there is control of the ball in the midline, but this is not enough now. The statistic of who is in control of the ball is not an advantage, they are not scoring opportunities. In my opinion now Shakhtar has sunk to the bottom and we have to roll up our sleeves again and work on all components of the game, “Shevchuk told Football 1/2/3 television channel.

Likewise, the Velikiy Football program expert and the former player of the Ukrainian team shared their opinion on what should be added to the “miners” to return to their previous level.

“I don’t think there is anything to add, now the team is in such a psychological state, there is no confidence. With such players available, the team must be more aggressive, the pace must be high, ball control must be much faster. All this is carried over from the championship. Ukraine, where Shakhtar also has no advantage there, but how should it appear in the Champions League? Therefore, Shakhtar must seriously re-work in all areas of game development.

For me it is clear that Shakhtar is a Champions League team. The Europa League is a completely different tournament in which Shakhtar have outnumbered many of their opponents. The Champions League is a different tournament, a different quality, a different intensity of play. Now there is a real chance to stay in the Europa League and continue to play in European competitions, so the team must be focused, score points in the remaining Champions League matches and continue to play in the Europa League.

Now there is such a trend that many teams have no stability, there is a recession, then a progression in the game, this also affected Shakhtar, so you should not be discouraged, because the guys know how to play, they showed it a few months ago. In the Europa League they crushed everyone, they showed a good level of play in the Ukrainian league, so they must remember those moments, go back to working well in training and reflect this on the field. I think these players will show a good level of play, “said Shevchuk.

It was previously reported that offenders from Shakhtar and Dynamo were included in the national team of the Champions League week.
