The whole team failed to do their best

– We got a crushing defeat, and there was a serious conversation with the guys after the match. I take full responsibility for the loss. Shakhtar U19 should not lose to an opponent who is not fighting for the top places in the championship. We did not convert many goal-scoring chances. Although we always focus on scoring goals in the training process, today I did not notice competitive anger and a great desire to score. Besides, we did not defend well, we do not have the right to concede many goals. Of course, we can talk about the absence of Udod and Drozd due to injuries, but these are just excuses. Conceded goals are not just a problem of defence. The whole team failed to do their best, did not show the miner’s character. Shakhtar U19 players must understand which club they represent and work to the maximum every day, and prove their place in the starting line-up by their actions on the field. Despite the loss of points, we will continue to fight for the first place in the Youth League.
