November 21, 2020, 9:59 p.m.
Inside the tenth round of the Ukrainian Premier League Shakhtar lost points in the match against Alexandria (eleven). Donetsk club head coach Luis Castro shared his opinion on the final result of this fight.
“When the expulsion happened, we needed to change a bit. The situation was unexpected, nobody warmed up. It was necessary to give the players time to warm up before entering the field, because we already have many injuries.” “Cold footballer – let him warm up. Besides Moraes, there are Fernando and Dentinho in the forward position. We decided to put Dentinho. Then we threw him to the side, Tete – to the left back position, and Fernando was also released.”
“During the match, we used the three forwards we have. We put Fernando as a forward and threw Dentinho to the left to open up more areas for Tete. Dodo was on the other flank. We gave Maicon more freedom in attacking actions, fixing Stepanenko. Then there is Solomon “In quantitative terms, everything was going well ahead. Sadly, we couldn’t win despite everything we tried to do in the team. “
On Catherine Monzul’s decision to remove Junior Moraes:
“Analyzing the refereeing is not in my habits, I am not going to do this. The referee decided that this was a removal. I will say that I saw and felt: Moraes slipped, it was not on purpose. I think you can see it. The way he slipped and he crashed into an opponent, it was unexpected for the player himself. The referee made the decision to send off. It happened very early. We already had so many problems before the game. Unfortunately, we couldn’t win, and that was our goal. “
On Shakhtar’s personnel issues:
“All the footballers who were not there today are injured or in quarantine. Now I can talk about everyone. Kovalenko with the coronavirus, Tyson and Khocholava are injured. Malyshev, Konoplyanka are injured. Marlos, Trubin, Bondar are in quarantine because I had contact with other guys from the Ukrainian team, I don’t know if I’m forgetting someone now – we have 9-10 players who can’t be with us due to illness or injury, or to quarantine. This is the world we live in today. There are many difficulties for coaches. We try to make the best decisions, but there are very difficult and complex moments. Unfortunately, now we live in a very strange world. Not everything is easy. “
On why Cipriano played on the left in defense, and not Matvienko:
“I made this decision because center-backs Matvienko and Kryvtsov, who returned from the national team, provide some stability. There was also a second idea. Now we have neither Cooper, nor Khocholava, so we would have put Vitao with Krivtsov, and Matvienko could have been pushed to the left. But in this case, there would be a couple of center-backs who are not so used to each other, and Matvienko would play in a position he is not used to. That is, they could generate instability in two areas, which is not good. Cipriano trained well. Yes, he received a yellow card very early; then it seemed to me that it was not deserved. Anyway, I explained. “
On the next Champions League game against Borussia M:
“Shakhtar will seek victory, as they always do. It is often believed that what happened before in the League or in the Champions League will somehow come out logically. No, now there is no logic in football, it can happen anything. Our goal is to show a good performance in the next game. ” Champions League and achieve a good result that will leave us in this competition ”, – quotes Castro’s words. Shakhtar official website.
