Shakhtar midfielder Alan Patrick shared his impression of the away game vs Benfica (3-3)
- I’m happy that I managed to benefit Shakhtar, and I’m really delighted at the goal scored, but the most important thing is reaching the next round. We knew very well that it would be hard, and I want to congratulate the team on their great performance!
- The reaction to the conceded goals was correct: you immediately scored in response ...
- The first half was very difficult, we experienced difficulties taking goal kicks, we lost the ball often. And in the second half, everything developed differently. We managed to showcase our pace, and everything began clicking in absolutely naturally: we created chances, scored and achieved our goal.
- What’s the reason behind little ball control and multiple counterattacks?
- This is due to our fast players, such as Taison, who significantly accelerate attacks. We operated deeply enough, that’s why we needed that kind of speed. And, of course, it was very important to play positionally, which allowed us to create good opportunities and scoring chances in the second half.
