MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk coach, Roberto di Zerbi, tried to downplay the win against Real Madrid on Tuesday and was also satisfied with the first half of his team, but stressed that when the Madrid team plays at their best level ” it’s complicated for any team. “
“It is not the worst defeat of my career, this sometimes happens to any coach. My team tried to play their football and we played well in the first half, with courage and we controlled the ball,” De Zerbi said in statements collected by the web from UEFA.
For the Italian coach, in the first half, although they conceded 0-1, that of his team “was not a bad performance.” “However, in the second half, Vinicius scored a goal very early and made things very difficult for us,” he lamented.
“When Real Madrid plays like Real Madrid, it is difficult for any team. They played an outstanding game and although we were not bad in the first half, we lost too many balls in midfield through Solomon, Tetê, Alan Patrick and Real Madrid had many opportunities to counterattack, “he said.
