Shakhtar U19 head coach Oskar Ratulutra summed up the victory over Oleksandriia U19
- The team have rounded off the year with a league win. What are your emotions after the match?
- The emotions are just positive, it's very well that we managed to win. We thanked the guys for the game, although it was tough: the unconverted spot-kick, a number of wasted chances ... At the end, Bako managed to score in one of the attacks by producing a well-placed mid-range shot. I would like to thank the team for their dedication, commitment, progress and quality of play in the first stage of the league campaign.
- This match largely repeated the developments in the first stage meeting with Oleksandriia, when the winning goals were also scored late.
- It's always tough against Oleksandriia, they are a fighting team. Everyone knows that every opponent psych themselves up for the encounter with Shakhtar as for the most important one in a season. Most importantly, the guys displayed their own football, they imposed their game and tried to prove themselves individually, even on such a hard pitch.
- Shakhtar have not conceded any goals in the last four games. Are you happy with this fact?
- We kept a clean sheet, but there are new challenges ahead. During the offseason, we will analyze what we succeeded in and what didn't.
- Kristian Bako has scored in the third match in a row, making the game victorious for you again.
- It's nice that Bako scores important goals, but the whole team work to create the scoring chance. This goal was scored through individual brilliance, but its foundation was laid by the hard work.
- Are the full team preparing for this friendly match or someone might go on holiday earlier?
- According to the tournament regulations, only Hulko and Honcharuk will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to age restrictions, the rest will be preparing for it. Apart from that, many young footballers have played against Oleksandriia, for example Yanovich made his debut. It was important to give some practice to the younger guys before the international match for their own confidence.
