Donetsk Shakhtar player Egor Nazarina commented on the draw in the Conference League match against Rijeka (0:0).

“We did not see the realization of the moments. There were moments that could have been scored, but unfortunately they were not accelerated by the blessings that they were. I respect you, we spent this match poorly, and the most important are the ones who moved on.”

This was our job, we wanted to complete it in the first century, and we died, so it’s good for you. If they had told us five months ago when the tournament started that we would be in the first week, I think we would have been in good shape straight away. Vikonali ce zavdanya – in ce nagolovnish.

What is the moral and moral aspect after six months of working so hard? Well, a little. Moving steadily while you are old, you know, it is not easy for you. But we won’t complain. We miss playing in the European cups, so there is nothing to complain about. We are happy that we suffer from, you might say, fatigue. When we are released immediately, we are excited and ready for training.

The first half of the season was difficult, but in the end it was positive. We completed our work at the Liza conferences – they passed, we are also in the lead with the championship – we share first place with however many points. I’ll say it again: if we had been told that five months ago, I respect that we would have been fit for those positions, as we did in both the European Cup and the Ukrainian Championship. I think we will continue to add more and in the other half of the season we will show even better results than the first.

I would like to thank the patients for their support in this difficult hour for us. This is the most important thing. Bless them with holy, healthy family well-being, and faith and belief in our victory, in the ZSU. They are the same – without them nothing would have happened. Once again: believe in our victory and have a peaceful sky above your head!
