Manor Solomon scored his debut double yesterday (Sunday) in the Shekhtar Donetsk uniform, scoring two goals in two minutes (75, 77) to give his team a 4-0 victory over Desna in the Ukrainian league. The great connection raised his balance this year in the league to five goals (a personal record in one season) with the Oranges being 4 points below Dynamo Kiev who lead the table.
“We are pleased, it was a tough game,” Solomon said at the conclusion. “Desna is a good, organized, strong team on defense. I’m glad we did our job today. We scored four goals – and we won. That’s what matters and we should continue like this. The first goal opened the game a bit, it got easier after that. The second was great, “In Brazilian style. I want to watch it again, it was a great moment for our team.”
Ahead of the Europa League rematch against Rome, which the Ukrainians will reach with a 3-0 deficit from the first game: “It will be very, very difficult. We will get to fight with everything we have, one hundred percent.”
The rival’s coach, Oleksandr Ryabkon, complimented the Israeli: “I was not surprised that Solomon and Tata started in the team at the expense of Tyson and Marlos. They are not inferior to them and even more mobile than them, so their absence did not play a role.”
However, Solomon Luis Castro’s coach criticized his team’s defense: “Defense is a matter of the whole team, not just the brakes, everyone has to work. The brakes have to work as well as Macon, Alan Patrick and Solomon. Everyone has to do defense. It’s a global dynamic. “Everyone defends and everyone attacks. If I want to look for the mistakes of the brakes I will find. If I look for the right things they did, I will find them too. The same goes for the actions of the other players.”
