Luka Pavlovich: We need to move forward
FC Sheriff head coach of reserves Luka Pavlovich considers that his team will draw the necessary conclusions after defeat in the match with FC Sfintul Gheorghe reserves in which the rival scored twice into the goal of the yellow-black team.
-Luka, what went wrong in today’s game and what was the reason for defeat?
- I will tell that it was difficult to play with the home team as 70% of players of the rivals main list are players of the first team. Today we performed according to the new game scheme in five defenders and with one nominated forward. This factor has affected the organization of our playing, control of the ball and creation of dangerous moments.
-FC Sfintul Gheorghe made up ground from our team in standings after today’s match. Do you consider the team from Suruceni as the main competitor in fight for the champion title of reserves?
- They are quite capable to fight for this title. We need to draw the necessary conclusions from today's defeat and to be prepared for the next important match with Chisinau Zimbru. We need to move forward without thinking about defeats. We also have a planned match in Tiraspol with FC Sfintul Gheorghe reserves. On the home ground it will be absolutely other game.
- In your opinion, why the players who came off the substitutes' bench didn't manage to score in today's matchup?
- On the halfway line we had two midfielders who lost freshness by the end of the game, it influenced their dispatching functions on providing the ball to our attacking players. Tried to deliver the ball by long passes, but it was difficult to win the fight against tall defenders of the home team.
