In the first round of the Europa League, Shakhtar mocked the Finnish Ilves 6: 0. The whole match was almost without a threat to the Ukrainian goalkeeper, but can this defeat say that the club is ready for the season? OBOZ.UA realized how the miners under the leadership of the new coach went to the next European cups.
Initial warehouses
“Miner”: Difference, Konopra, Bondar, Matvenko, Pedro Enrique, Marlon Gomez, Alisson, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Kevin, Elias
“Ilves”: Virtanen, Miaenpia, Vyuyanyanen, Rale, Vallius, Popovich, Velli, Yuccolus, Troops, Risky, Strong
First half. Slow intelligence, debut goals
Ilves realized that the only chance to cling to the goals against such a strong enemy was aggression. This plan was good, sometimes miners were given that they had to advance the game forward through the goalkeeper. Although Shakhtar created more threats in the first 10 minutes, and Elias almost pushed under an empty corner when the ball passed. In the 12th minute and hemp checked the frame for strength – the Finns retained the cross.
Shakhtar bets on the individual technique of players, which we will see in more than half. The most working zone of Kevin Flang, who again burst into the flag almost every 3-4 minutes. The game was almost – an attack, think, relax, repeat. The ILVES center did not know what to do with the ball, so they simply knocked it out. The result came in the 25th minute from the transfer of the same Kevin, only now ahead: Alisson easily coped with the goalkeeper. The fact that half of half was developed finally occurred. 1: 0.
Interestingly, the only attack directly to the gate led to both the impact on the workpiece and the target. All the rest went through the stream from the flanks, this is a scheme for the first half. The density of enemy defenders did not allow you to show a lot without discoveries or accelerations. At each moment, the attackers of Shakhtar were inside a foreign bloc and constantly with a defender nearby. The fact that Ilves was not equal – in blocking shots and already mentioned ways to get rid of the ball. Their coach was not satisfied with this, because it did not even go for a pass: the initiative was immediately accepted by miners and pressed against new power.
Not to say that the trotter was just in defense, but it was impossible to show something bright for the whole first half. The most acute event was in the 37th minute, when Stepin reached the last third and with confidence threw the difference with confidence. The first half was under the flag of the Ukrainian team: without haste and without fires. And yet – for the first goal of Elias, which occurred under a break from the corner. We waited more and more.
The second half. Brazilian courage
Immediately from the locker room, Shakhtar opens an account with individual pressure of Alisson. The error in defense became a failure with such a pressing – the Brazilian easily broken past the goalkeeper, forming a double and starting his performance. The game went to such a clear scenario that Turan completely changes the support zone: instead of Sudaks and Bondarenko, he left Pedrigno.
In conditions of complete dominance, it was necessary to see, and what can players show for the result? When everything is for this – is it possible to create something individually? The attack line was in the dynamics of the need to constantly press, while the central backs were assigned the task of such accidents: to connect the Finns closer to their own gates and create the moment in front of the gateway. After the third goal, our goalkeeper almost brought a dangerous situation, but stood under a risky pressure. And the closer to psychological confidence in victory, the more “Ilves” made desperate attempts. Unnecessary fouls led to standards, to which the rating chambers were well prepared and beat the pigs several times.
The best player of yesterday’s match was Alisson. He made a double and three assistants, constantly creating this opportunity. A high-quality understanding of who and where plus the fields gave him leadership, and then the 4th goal of the team. This is really an indicator of quality in certain actions that the miners were not enough in LHA last year. Turan seems to find a way to finally get a result from Star Legionnaires.
What is the result of the first official match? Shahtar did not show a phenomenal game, but players understand that this is officially. Shakhters easily cope with the enemy and, despite the super -colonic style of the guests, were able to use the strongest personal qualities of their own players. The class managed to achieve everything that they wanted, and for the match, other combinations of players can check. Ilves received one moment in the class at the 94th minute, but the difference was resting on the wall. The Finnish tradition is not to pass the 1st stage of the Europa League, close to reality, and Ukrainians are at the next stage. The Finns were steep blows of the peder and non -combined.
6: 0 – Ilves, like sparring, is confident in sparring and makes loud use for continuing qualifications. This match slowly leads miners by the beginning of the main season and accelerates the strength of the players for the European Cup. “Besiktash”, which remains over the next 90 minutes, will no longer allow you to easily dominate the entire field.
