Shakhtar coach: For the first half hour of Roma game Dybala was invisible

Shakhtar head coach Igor Jovičević spoke about his team's perfomance in a match against Roma (0:5).

“A difficult match. If we look at the result, this was a good test for us. We saw a few situations that were good for us, as well as a few segments that we need to work on. It is very difficult to compare the two teams at the moment - both in terms of budget and in terms of the level of the players.

The first half was great. For 30 minutes we were very successful in getting out of Roma's pressure. We got what we practiced in training. I think it was difficult for Roma to find Zaniolo and Dybala between the lines. For the first half hour Dybala was invisible. I think our small mistakes determined the result of the match.

In the second half, we did enough in posession, but we weren't succesfull in the last third of the field. For us, this is a very good lesson to see where we are now, what we have successfully done and what we have not done,” said Jovićević.
