“The Shakhtar coaches locked themselves in a separate room for twenty minutes”

The director of football 1/2/3 TV channels, Oleksandr Denisov, shared his opinion on the Shakhtar crisis. Recall that the Donetsk team flew out of the Ukrainian Cup after being defeated by Agrobusiness (0: 1), and previously lost to Zara (0: 1) in the UPL.

“The loss at Zorya brings Shakhtar back within four points of the Dynamo, and that’s not all bad news. Just a few days later, the Donetsk team is inferior to the first league Agribusiness in the Ukraine Cup, a team that has not played a single official match this year, played 120 minutes and beat Shakhtar, scored a goal in extra time. Probably a real nightmare for Shakhtar fans, both for the team and the coaching staff. No one could have imagined such a thing, but this is reality.

In another match, Dynamo also had some problems with Kolos, but he managed to advance to the semi-finals of the Ukrainian Cup on penalties, and Shakhtar lost as well, and this, of course, raised a wave of outrage.

The situation, as in any football crisis, is classic. Who is guilty? As they always say, the coach is to blame, in such situations they demand his resignation, this is a classic story that should be taken for granted.

Why is this happening? It would be clearer if the players left or the coaching staff changed, but everyone stayed in their places. It seemed that the generational change was going well, in addition to the Castro team using flexible tactics.

Then came the story, in which it is clear that not everything is as simple as it seemed to us. Veterans somewhere do not shoot, and somewhere there is not enough youth.

Of course, the match against Agrobusiness is a huge blow for Shakhtar, who could come back to haunt the Europa League and the Ukrainian league. There are many questions. What happened after? After the match with Agrobusiness, the entire Shakhtar coaching staff closed in a separate room for twenty minutes. After such a situation, many believed that Castro could resign, but he did not make such a decision. After the game, he put all the blame on Castro, he doesn’t give up, he doesn’t give up.

We understand that in Shakhtar, the decision always rests with President Rinat Akhmetov. Akhmetov maintains a grandmaster pause, he knows how to wait, he knows how to stop in the most difficult situations to make a decision. At the moment, Akhmetov did not return with any information to either the club’s management or the coaching staff, “Denisov said.
