Metalurh Donetsk -1

Post match, Mircea Lucescu commented:
"We have trapped into some negative dynamics. Its difficult to say something more. Our rivals use their first and some times the only chance against us. We are under pressure that is caused by our league standing and we fail to show our best performance. Tonight we had 6-7 opportunities that had to be converted into goals. Brandao had a chance, Seleznov did. But lack of self-confidence that is caused by the pressure, prevented them from scoring.
Unfortunately, at the end of the match not all players were in the zones we had ascribed to them on a pre-match briefing. It allowed the rivals to play their game in our half. Its unbelievable that having such players and such opportunities we have found ourselves in a situation like this.
A very important Champions League match against Barcelona is waiting for us. We’ve got to understand what’s been going on with the team. Only four days are left. We must prepare properly for the Champions League. I hope we shall be able to deliver a performance that is worth a team playing in such a competition. We must prove that Shakhtar deserve playing in Europe.
We are wasting 100% opportunities. I am not satisfied with the performance Shakhtar have been showing recently. In fact, all other teams have started to play on the level we used to be on. We, in our turn, have stopped to delight our supporters because of our league standing. Ow wemust concentrate all our attention on the upcoming match against Barcelona. We must find strength to overcome all difficulties and show the Spanish side our best play. As I have already said, I assume all responsibility
Before the match Kucher said he couldn’t play. I don’t know why. Maybe because of the psychological pressure. The Champions League is nearing and we can convert this negative dynamics. There are players who must return to earth and start playing like they used to in the previous season."
