Comment from Shakhtar women's team manager Roman Zaiev after the away draw with Ladomyr (2-2)
– It was a game with a host of missed chances, which means we once again have to talk about the quality of our finishing and our approach in the final third. We failed to convert clear-cut chances when we simply had to score. Naturally, that affects the feel of the game itself and creates a sense of nervousness overall.
– Karban and Zolotukhina were in the starting line-up. How would you assess them?
– I'm pleased that neither of them looked out of place and that they are an important part of the team. They each have a role to play in their respective positions and fully carried out the tasks they were given.
– A two-week break in the league is coming up due to the participation of Ukrainian clubs in European competitions. How will you use that time?
– The players will get a short break to recover mentally and psychologically from the pressure of the match. Then, on August 6, we have a friendly against Ukraine WU17 scheduled in Shchaslyve, and after that we'll focus on preparing for our home match against Kryvbas.
