Paulo Fonseca, the young Portuguese coach of Shakhtar (Donetsk), thinks his team has played better than the Roma in the second round of the Champions League round of Olympiacos, but the victory is for the Italians by 1:0. After 2:1 for the Ukrainians in Kharkov, Roma continue on the goal of a foreign pitch. `Only the big teams are capable of what we did, but I`m disappointed with the result, but I can not help but be happy with the character we have shown. ` We did a great campaign in the Champions League, winning all four home games. We were winning big rivals and our fans were proud to be proud of us, we were much better than Roma, but one mistake cost us everything, `said Fonseca. ` There is nothing to comment on what is fair and what is not. we just had to finish everything in the first game- to win with a higher score and things would be in place. The very fact that we played 11 minutes with 10 people and finally the dominance of the ball was 60 percent for us, should tell you which team was better. Today we played as well as at home - we dominated and pushed as we did it at home. Yes, we could have been even stronger in the attack, but Roma was defending very deeply and there were no spaces that our attackers would be happy to do, `added Paulo Fonseca.
