The Pitmen reflect on the match against the Belgians
Bernard, Shakhtar midfielder:
- Today's game against Gent was difficult enough, but we managed to win. We’ve been preparing to perform successfully in the league and advance as far as possible in the Champions League. In general, this has been a difficult week, we worked a lot. But the team are learning something new, we try to use a different playing model, which is very important. The coaching staff support us and help us to recover from training. I feel a great responsibility. I try to give my all to show the coach that I understand him, being ready to dedicate myself to work and delivering what he wants to see on the pitch.

The game was good and intense. We step it up with every game and better understand each other
Ivan Petryak, Shakhtar midfielder:
- Today’s opponents have been stronger than the previous ones. The game was good and intense. We step it up with every game and better understand each other. Thank God, so far we’ve had only positive outcomes. In training, we continuously work on tactics, then trying to reproduce it in the match. It's hard to play under permanent workloads. But we try to recover just in time. It's nice that we’ve won today. In any game, it is important to win. Then you train and prepare for the next game in a good mood.
