Luka Pavlovich: We stood firm and waited for mistakes of our rivals
The head coach of FC Sheriff youth team commented on away victory with Petrokub (3:1) in a match of the 15th round of the Championship of reserves.
- Luka Pavlovich, we congratulate you on a victory! Today our team has achieved a strong-willed victory ten together. Is it possible to say that football players have shown their character?
- Yes today the team has shown the character and great commitment to a victory. We were the first who missed a ball and in addition remained in the second half in minority. Petrokub is one of the most uncompromising rivals in the championship, it will be difficult to all teams to score points here. I’m very glad that everything turned out well for us.
- Today for the first time Italo Fernando Isacre appeared in starter. How would you estimate his playing?
- Today we played according to the scheme 4-4-2 therefore it was more freedom in the frontier for him. Italo has, let’s say, a good playing foundation. I think he will gain momentum in each match.
-How would you regard the episode with sending-off?
- Removal of the defender was fair and by rules. I’m concerned more about why he made so many unconstrained fouls in this game. Correction of mistakes is necessary.
- After sending-off of our defender you continued to think of a victory or were ready to agree to a draw?
- It was necessary to play more carefully therefore I let one more defender to the pitch. The forward had a task - to move to the flange and to wait for the moment. We stood firm and waited for a mistake of the rivals. Soon our plan worked, and we pulled out a deserved victory.
