Shakhtar U19 head coach Oskar Ratulutra speaks on the victory over Inhulets, the fight for the championship and personnel decisions

– Comment on the victory over Inhulets after the pause in the championship.
– It's good that we managed to win, and we are happy with this result. The team prepared very responsibly, although they knew that Inhulets were at the bottom of the table. We kept in mind the previous matches with Inhulets and told the boys that this opponent is always very uncomfortable for us.

– Was the first goal, after which the team relaxed and predetermined the outcome of the match in the first half, decisive?
– Yes, after the first goal scored, we dictated the conditions on the football field and managed to achieve victory.

– Did you made four substitutions at once at half-time because the score allowed doing so?
– The boys did a good job in the first part of the season. Everyone deserves playing time, which everyone demonstrated today with the game and attitude – this is the main thing.

– Was the victory over Inhulets important from the point of view of the fight against Dynamo and Rukh in the league?
– That's just one win. There are still many matches in the league, this year we also wait for the game with Dnipro-1. You need to win to be in the fight for the championship but at the same time you need to progress.

– Why did Khromei play in the center of defense from the first minutes?
– Before the match, we had personnel problems in this position. But we prepare the boys so that they could act in different positions because modern football dictates universalism.

– Danylo Savin scored in his debut match. Is it important to quickly adapt young players to your style of play?
– It is very good that Savin made his debut today, and even scored a goal. Many players make their debut in our team every year, the main thing is their stability and progress.

– The team scored six goals. Which one did you like the most?
– All the goals were good. I liked Kyrylo Siheev's goal, cancelled due to offside. In general, I enjoyed the boys’ actions in today's match, despite the fact that the field is already difficult.
