Serhiy NAGORNYAK: “Shakhtar pleased us that we started in the Champions League”
Famous Ukrainian coach Serhiy Nagornyak commented on Shakhtar’s results in the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage.
“Honestly, after a difficult start in the UPL, there were concerns about how Shakhtar would play in the Champions League. However, Pitmen first defeated Leipzig (4:1) in Germany and then drew with Celtic (1st). :1) was gladly pleased.In general, with “Leipzig” everything was almost perfect.
But with Celtic there was almost even play in the first half and the Scots looked better in the second half of the meeting. But there is an explanation for this: Rivals have started to treat Shakhtar differently, which shows his best qualities,” he said.
Shakhtar Donetsk is second in the group standings with four points after two rounds.
