Mislav Karoglan: «Today we lost psychologically»
Head coach of FC “Sheriff”, Mislav Karoglan, about the last match of Phase 1 of the Super League:
- The last match was difficult against the team, FC Balti, which claimed the second place....
- Yes, but first of all I would like to congratulate my team for a 14-match unbeaten streak, but at the same time I want to note that today we lost psychologically. If you go out thinking that the pitch is bad, the weather is bad, it negatively affects the model of the game, which we preach. It turned out that we played in a way that suited the opponent. That's why I'm upset. But in what happened, there is also my fault - I should have adjusted the players better. In general, I am satisfied with the whole season, as FC Sheriff spent the first half of the season. Out of 15 matches, if I'm not mistaken, including the cup, we only drew a couple of times, in the rest we won. I congratulated the team that we haven't lost a match in the Championship. We are in first place, with a gap over our opponents. That's good. There was a residue left by the fact that today we gave up the game that took us to the top. It's a mental moment for which I am responsible.
- What's in the distance?
- We'll see, there are specifics of the league. The playoffs are next. Now we're going on vacation, the players will go to their families. We'll be back in January and go in the direction we've set. We want to get better every day and we will do everything to achieve our goals.
- Will there be any new players?
- I can't say yet whether or not there will be changes. I am here to work with the players the club has. We will see what players the club will provide. Based on this, I will make the team better.
