Shakhtar footballers shared their impressions of the friendly game against the Slovaks
Ivan Ordets, defender:
- First of all, I want to thank the fans for their support. There was a great atmosphere at the Arena Lviv! Slovaks are strong. We carefully analysed them, we knew that the opponents control the ball well and have high-quality players. It was very important to win after the match vs Croatia, showcase a decent game and rehabilitate ourselves for past failures. The coaching staff were satisfied with both our performance and the outcome. I’m also happy for the guys who made their maiden outing in the blue-and-yellow T-shirt. They proved themselves in their clubs, and rightly deserved to be called up to the Ukraine national team.

-The turf was hard, there were a lot of challenges. We were eager to finish the year on a positive note and played only to win, giving our all. We supported the debutants, with the guys having demonstrated a decent performance. I am happy that the team showed mettle and, after conceding a goal, managed to turn the proceedings around. It's great, of course, to win by the score of 2-0, 3-0. We need to strive for this. However, Andriy Shevchenko was satisfied with the match and thanked everyone.
