Mariupol coach Ostap Markevych reflects on the encounter with Shakhtar
- What did you lack to get points off Shakhtar today?
- The skill in our attacking third. Of course, the young guys who were helping us still need to refine themselves to be able to compete with such a serious team as Shakhtar.
- Are you happy with your footballers’ defensive play?
- We survived for 30-35 minutes. Our central defenders, basically, are our regulars, and they played pretty well. But we needed good midfield in order to defend successfully. However, I don't want to blame the young guys who worked and tried hard by saying a single bad word. For such serious matches, tight and solid play showcased by the opponents, they need experience and qualification.
