Taras Stepanenko: "The coaching staff aims not to be afraid to use short passes"

Together with Andriy Shevchenko he took part in a press conference after the match with Switzerland - 2:1 took midfielder of the national team of Ukraine Taras Stepanenko.

- In the first half, the Swiss successfully used pressure, - said Taras Stepanenko, - there was a lot of marriage in our actions. But after the break, we often got to the opponent's goal and created moments.

- How long was the break? Were there problems with mutual understanding with partners?

- This is not a question of mutual understanding, the fact is that the coaching staff sets us the task to play not only at the expense of long passes, but also with the help of short ones, not to be afraid of it. We opened up, tried to do it, but not always everything worked out. This is the merit of the opponent, but we managed. It takes time for players to understand each other and be safe.
