Shakhtar head coach Luis Castro commented on the loss to Lvov (2: 3).
– The defense has made a lot of mistakes today. When we concede three goals, it is very difficult to win. Despite dominating the game completely, we had big problems when the ball reached our defensive line.
We tried to change something, but immediately at the beginning of the second half we jumped after the substitution. Then we try to change something again. And after one more change, we skip another.
The team was psychologically very upset by what happened. Congratulations to Lviv on the victory.
– 7 points behind Dynamo – the end of the championship race?
– Very difficult. Mathematically, of course, it is possible. Something has to happen. We have to play very well, solve our main problem. We have problems defensively. When I talk about this problem, it is not a particular player, but the general dynamic on defense.
Right now, they are trying to find a culprit. I repeat: in defense, my mistake is in the first place. I am responsible for the whole team, because the whole team has to defend.
As I said, it will be very difficult to achieve the title, but, nevertheless, it is possible. We will keep working, we will fight, we will never give up, because that is not our DNA. Not mine, not the players, not the club. We understand that it is very, very difficult.
– Do you think you can change the situation and become Shakhtar again, what the fans are used to?
– I think that in order for us to attack, you must be safe on the defensive. No one will attack calmly if there is no calm in defense. Today there was good evidence of this.
We had a lot of offensive work, there were a lot of chances to score, but whenever we got close to an advantage in the game, it was our mistakes on defense. This is a problem that appears during the game, and then it is very difficult to eliminate it, Castro said on the air of Football 1.
