Goran Sablic: Everything was done as we planned
FC Sheriff head coach after the match with FC Sfintul Gheorghe:
- Good evening. We carried out the task, won. From the first minutes there was an advantage. But at the expense of the pitch and the rival who defended well we couldn't score in the first half. In the second half we changed our playing and resolved the issue. Now the main task is to have a good rest. The last month or even one and a half there were many matches. It was difficult physically and psychologically for us. After the match in Baku it was hard to return the team and to reorganize for this game. But everything was done as we planned. Thanks to the FC Sfintul Gheorghe for the match and hospitality.
- How could you motivate the team after defeat from Qarabag?
- It was difficult. It’s always hard. You can’t just say that everything is ok. Each person who played football and was in such situation understands that it is hard. Emotions go forefront after such matches you are upset. Therefore it was important for us to win today.
- Today the team played without central forward. Neither Kamara, nor Boiciuc, nor Badibanga …
- All three are injured. Boiciuc was out in Baku. We don't know yet, whether for a long time. Kamara suffers from pain in abdominal rings for two weeks. We decided not to risk and to allowed him to have a rest. Badibanga had problems with muscles before the match in Baku. We hope that after a pause on matches of the national teams everything will be ok.
