A press conference by Shakhtar manager Luis Castro after the match vs Vorskla in Poltava
- In September, you demolished Vorskla 4-0. How has the opponent changed now and how hard was it against this new team?
- Good evening everyone. I can’t at the moment talk in detail about September’s Vorskla as we had many games after that, and I just can’t remember what happened back then. I can tell you about today's team: they are very dynamic, with a large number of players in our defensive third and with attacking football. The opponents were faster than us, they won many duels, created a huge number of chances. Without a doubt, Vorskla have been the better team on the pitch today - much better than the officials team and than Shakhtar. The Poltava side deservedly scored the winning goal, alongside a few more scoring chances they could convert. My congrats to Vorskla on their performance today.
- Do you regret having left many leaders in Kyiv?
- No, I accept this with a clear conscience.
