Mentor and striker of Shakhtar U19 reflect on the game against Arsenal-Kyiv
Serhii Shyschenko, head coach:
- Today there were two different halves. We started not so aggressively and confidently as we had planned, conceded a set-piece goal, although we work a lot on this very element. There was also no balance between the attackers and the defensive third. At the same time, we made great transitions from defence to attack and scored twice. I liked the second half more as we got more organized and disciplined. After the third goal, the outcome allowed us to experiment a little: we changed the formation, which we plan to use against Feyenoord. I think we did pretty well. We better controlled the ball owing to the tight midfield, operated with two forwards, having many chances. In general, the team looked balanced and solid. We are glad to have claimed the win, very seriously approaching the encounter with Feyenoord. We carefully study the opponents, working on the way we will play on Wednesday. We’ll do everything to score the first points in the UEFA Youth League.

It's always a pleasure to win. The coaching staff sets us up only for this kind of outcome, and we try not to let them down
Andriy Kulakov, forward:
- It's always a pleasure to win. The coaching staff sets us up only for this kind of outcome, and we try not to let them down. Today we conceded an early one, moreover, following the set piece we’ve been practising a lot lately. It excited us in a competitive way, with us not only equalising, but also notching three more goals. Of course, I'm glad that I managed to deliver a hat trick. Thanks to the teammates for their help, especially to Oleksii Kaschuk for all three assists. It was important to win in the championship before the UEFA Youth League game. The team are emotionally excited and are ready to give their all in the match against Feyenoord on Wednesday.
