Pusic: We are not thinking about the next stage of the Champions League
Shakhtar head coach Marino Pusic summed up the Champions League match against Barcelona:
– How did we do it? Like I said, if you come to play a game, you have to show yourself, to compete. This is the attitude I want to see in my team from the beginning. This is what I ask from them. Secondly, you have to believe in a good ending, because everything starts in your thoughts. You have to believe and act.
Of course, we also had a game plan. We analysed our last meeting and the games that Barcelona played between our two matches. We made some significant changes. The players were phenomenal. I have to say that Barcelona were in possession longer, but we could have scored even more without conceding at all. Perfect performance of my team.
We are not thinking about the next stage. I will be honest, all my thoughts are now focused on the next game, which will take place in the Ukrainian League and will be a tough one. Tonight we are celebrating, because we deserve it, but tomorrow me and my team will be fully focused on the next match in the championship.
