Commentary of head coach of Shakhtar youth team Oskar Ratulutra after victory over Lviv U19
– Share your first impressions after difficult victory over Lviv.
– We have good emotions, because we managed to achieve an important victory. The game turned out to be extremely difficult, because the quality of the field made significant adjustments. I am grateful that even on such complex field the team tried to play football. They deserved these three points by pressing the opponents at the end of the match.
– After send-off, Lviv started to play defensively and it was more difficult for Shakhtar to go through the saturated defence?
– Definitely! In some moments, emotions got the better of the boys, sometimes we were in a hurry and made mistakes in simple moments. All this prevented us from making good use of the numerical advantage.
– What was missing to decide the fate of the match earlier?
– Again: the field quality had a serious effect on the quality of the final pass and the final shot. We are not complaining, because we were in the same conditions with the opponents. Despite this, all boys had a very hard job today.
– Rate the two postponed matches against Minaj and Lviv.
– Of course, it is good that we managed to get the maximum number of points and even hold these matches. However, there is still a lot of work and significant games ahead, in which the mistakes made today should not be repeated.
