We must think about the match vs Oleksandriia

- In the football world, it’s generally accepted that replacing your goalkeeper late in the match is a sign of disrespect for the opponents. Following this logic, we could say that they punished you for that. How would you comment on Shevchenko's appearance? (FootballHub)

- Have you watched the match? Do we deserve to win or draw? Had we won it, would you ask me this question? Shevchenko deserves to play in the Champions League, even for five minutes because he is a true professional and has always trained well. Therefore, I believe that it was right. And this has nothing to do with respect for the opponent. We had to win 5-0 as we had lots of scoring chances. If you think differently, I certainly respect your opinion.

- It seemed that for the first 15 minutes of the first half, the team got carried away with passing it around, while in the technical area you reacted really emotionally to what was happening. How much do you agree with this statement? (Footboom.com)

- In the first half, Sheriff were waiting for us at the back. We had few opportunities to find some spaces, we dominated the play, but with scarce chances to play deep. In the second half, Sheriff played some 20 to 30 metres up and we dominated less, but we had more opportunities to play deep down. We created scoring chances in both the first and second halves, but didn't score. I don't remember any shots by Sheriff. In the dying seconds, we conceded a goal due to an error, but that’s not the issue. When you have to seal the win, when you’ve got to score a goal, you just have to score it, full stop! And if you make such a mistake, the match remains open until the end.

- In Tiraspol, you fielded all the newcomers, including just two Ukrainians, and you suffered a defeat. This time, there have been no newcomers, but many Ukrainians, the young ones, with Shakhtar turning in some decent display. Hence the question: have the summer transfers not strengthened the team? (Espreso.tv)

- I think we will do something about the transfers in January. The difference between the matches against Sheriff is that today we’ve seen the progress of several players like Sudakov, Bondarenko. I substituted Sudakov because he got injured. Bondar did not appear in the first match. I believe that Kryvtsov also had an issue at that time. Look, I'm a foreigner in Ukraine. I respect everyone and do not consider whether the player is Brazilian, Italian or Ukrainian. I'm used to respecting everyone. Of course, I have to make decisions because, for example, in the Ukrainian league there is a limit of four Ukrainians. But we played with five Ukrainians in Madrid. As you can see, I make decisions solely based on the match and on the opponents, without looking at the nationality.

- Information has appeared in the press that Moraes and Marlos will not renew their contracts with the club and will leave in the winter. Is it true? Are you counting on these players? (Profutbol Digital)
