Shakhtar midfielder and brace scorer Pedrinho analysed the game against Rukh for Shakhtar TV and also spoke about his scoring form and the team’s morale
– Pedrinho, congratulations on the win against Rukh! You scored a brace, so please share your emotions and impressions right now.
– I’m really very happy about the goals and especially about the team’s victory. We knew the game would be tough, so it was important to show our football. Thank God, the team played excellently and deservedly secured the win.
– Recall those two fantastic moments involving you and describe them in detail.
– We positioned ourselves well, Marlon delivered a great pass, and I thanked him for the assist in the dressing room – all I had to do was score. In the second moment we were defending, Pedro Henrique cleared the ball forward, I carried it well and finished the attack. I’m very happy with these two goals.
– Looking at Shakhtar’s match against Rukh overall, how would you sum it up?
– I think we played very well tactically. Arda Turan positioned us well on the pitch, which allowed us to show quality football. We understood it would be a difficult match as we drew twice with Rukh last year. This time we showed good football, pressing, tackling and were effective in attack – and that’s what ultimately brought the victory.
– The team have been lacking such confident victories in terms of morale lately. Tell us, what impact does this win have on the squad?
– In fact, this victory is very important and has had a positive effect on the team. I believe we are constantly progressing, even in the previous matches we created many chances. This time we managed to convert our opportunities. It was an impressive win.
