Mihai Stochita: "The game was more tactical"
The game was more tactical, there have been not too many opportunities. We dominated for 65 or 70 minutes and we had opportunities, but in the last 20 minutes we began to make mistakes in midfield and they had chances to score. I think the score reveals the game flow. I don’t like the way we play after the break – there is a difference from the last year. We have to analyze the situation and change the things we have to change. Anyway, I told the players that football is not always about happiness. Sometimes there are problems. But good teams, even when they fail to do something, continue to do their best and get closer to their aim. Dacia played good in the end of the game. Throughout the match they used long passes. It is normal. They tried to convert one of their counter-attacks.
Last games were played on the artificial pitch and you promised that on natural grass the team will play much better, but unfortunately we didn’t see much difference. Why?
I think that we played better than in last games, but we began to train on natural grass only this week. I think that every week it will be better and better.
Many players have been called up to their national teams. May this be a reason?
Gheorghiev and Pascenco played all two games. For the last eight days they played three games, and this is not easy. They were not with the team. Probably there is some fatigue. Anyway they tried to do their best and I told them after the game that I’m proud with their commitment.
Taking into the account that Dacia has hit the cross-bar twice, can we say that Sheriff gained one point and not lost two?
I think that we lost two because earlier such players as Markovski, Gheorghiev, Luvannor had good opportunities. Everything can happen if you do not score. Dacia is a good team with many players. They changed 6 players after our last game. We don’t have this amount of players – a small group plus players from the second team. You saw our bench – Rebenja, Poyarkov, Macogonenko. But we have to follow the club policy and bring only the players that we have confidence in.
Where is Balima?
Don’t ask me, I don’t know where he is.
What about Zveaghintev?
Zveaghintev resumed training. I think after couple of weeks he will be ready to help the team again. Anyway, Stajila today had good and bad moments. It’s okay, because young players always have some lack of balance.
