Shakhtar U19 head coach Oskar Ratulutra told about the Youth League match vs Rukh
– As expected, match was very hard. We had a territorial advantage, sometimes the opponent got one, but mainly the game was at head-on courses. We managed to perform both fast attacks and set offenses. Generally, we looked more qualified and had all the opportunities to win. Unfortunately, we couldn’t keep a winning score, and this is our fault in the first place, but game process was affected by other factors as well.
– How serious are Mykytyshyn’s and Khromey’s injuries, are there first news from medical staff?
– They both have to attend a medical examination to define the injury degree. If the guys couldn’t even finish the first time, then the injuries are serious. We hope for the better.
– Will you agree that the team demonstrated two different halves: Shakhtar succeeded in the first half and Rukh dominated in the second one?
– Yes, I think that it was due to two early substitutions. The opponent prepared, they had a task to act against our the most experienced players with maximum density. It is unfortunate that the referee ignored such moments, the footballers could have been seriously injured.
– Did you consciously give the initiative to the opponent laying the score?
– Everything happened according to the game. We substituted two experienced footballers with young ones who got into the match rhythm. Yes, the opponent had the initiative in the second half, but we also controlled the ball and tried to dictate the play.
– It there any aftertaste left, because the victory was so close?
– Sure, there is a little aftertaste from the result. It was clear that Shakhtar play as one team. Everyone fought for each other, tried to demonstrate our football. Unfortunately, we did not finished two episodes and lost two goals. The guys are upset with the result, but we, the coaches, are satisfied with the game. Now we have to recover and prepare for the next matches.
