- Darijo, what happened in the episode when Shakhtar scored their first goal?
- Adriano said that he did not see who played the ball to the keeper. He thought it was a Nordsjælland player who made the pass. Then, we wanted to miss a goal, but Stepanenko stopped the opponent. Our confusion led to such an unpleasant episode. We won the ball back, and the following five minutes saw us playing in a very slack manner. After conceding, we started to play our football. We scored four goals in a row. I think that there is a big difference between Nordsjælland and Shakhtar. These moments, of course, were beautiful. We didn’t deliberately concede the second goal. We just were very slack, because we felt unpleasant on the pitch.
- Shakhtar have already advanced to the knockout stage. Does it seem so or is there really not a lot of joy?
- We are through, but we're tired. The result of our last league game with Arsenal is taking its toll. We need to look ahead. Yes, we are in the last 16, but we need to secure first place in the group in the game with Juventus.
- It turns out that you haven’t celebrated yet, have you?
- We haven’t, because our goal is to claim first place in the group.
- Was it possible to switch from fans’ whistling and start showing your game?
- You saw that after conceding the second goal we showed our football. We had a very bad start to the match, we were very relaxed, missed two goals. After that, we scored four goals in a row.
- Got angry?
- Yes, exactly. That’s the right word.
- What can you say about today’s support by the Donetsk fans?
- I am glad that more and more fans come to the away matches. There were also a lot of them in London.
- What about Croatian fans?
- Croatian fans who live here attended this game as well.
