Alexander DENISOV: “There is no need to make a catastrophe”

Director of football 1/2/3 TV channels Alexander Denisov summed up the results of the European Cup season for our greats.

“Looking back at the beginning of the journey, I involuntarily recall the Andre Vilash-Boas quote:“ To establish yourself in the Champions League, you have to get there. So we got there and settled in. “We can’t apply this quote to either Shakhtar or Dynamo. Our teams’ play in the Champions League can be compared to the Ukraine winter, from minus 15 to plus 15. But, of Anyway, the teams made it to the spring of the European Cup. Maccabi and Bruges passed. And many stones would fly towards our teams if they had not passed these rivals.

I think we don’t need to turn the defeat of our teams into a disaster. These are the realities, well, they do not run, this is your resource. The main thing is that the clubs know what to do next. The worst thing is not the defeat itself, but the lack of action. It seems to me that the conclusions about Shakhtar and Dynamo are obvious. I think Shakhtar did not give their history with Roma, like Dynamo with Villarreal, especially in the first leg. When Lucescu eliminated Tsygankov after the first half, it became clear that his thoughts were no longer on the Europa League, but on the fight for gold in the Ukrainian championship. The same scenario is now with Shakhtar. There is only one direct ticket to the Champions League, ”Denisov said.
