Former Shakhtar defender Vyacheslav Shevchuk shared his impressions of the team’s crushing defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach 0-4 in the fourth round of the Champions League:
“The Shakhtar match was not a success both in terms of game and result. Shakhtar could not draw the proper conclusions, and perhaps they did, but at the moment they cannot provide Borussia with something new. Shakhtar was not quite right in their game, they lacked concentration, since all the goals were scored from set pieces, and with set pieces, attention and concentration are very important. At the moment, the Shakhtar are in poor physical condition, they also have psychological problems, they do not trust their abilities.
I haven’t seen the quality of Shakhtar’s play. 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. Now the Shakhtar has sunk to the bottom. We have to roll up our sleeves again and work on all components of the game.
Shakhtar is a team in the Champions League. 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 possibility of staying in the Europa League and continuing to play in European competition, so the team must be focused, score points in the remaining Champions League games and continue to play in the Europa League.
