Marino PUSIC: “We will see if Shakhtar will be able to sign new transfers in the winter”

Shakhtar coach Marino Pusic evaluated the 3:5 defeat against Porto in the Champions League group stage match and made evaluations about the team’s performance in the European Cup.

“Unfortunately, we lost, but we showed ourselves. We tried, we went out to play and did everything we could. Considering the strength of the opponent, we made mistakes very often. We looked good in parts of the first half, parts of the second half. We managed to score three goals away and fought until the end. “Sometimes you need a little more luck, but three away goals weren’t enough.”

“And suddenly we conceded three goals, which is unacceptable. But we can be proud of our performance in the Champions League. I saw that the team was able to compete, that is important. Maybe the match against Barcelona was special. This is a special moment, we will definitely remember it.”

“We have our own identity, we will work in this direction. Let’s see if we can accept new arrivals during the winter break. The Europa League is a difficult tournament, there is a lot of competition there,” said Pusic.
