Roberto Bordin: We played with heart and clear mind
FC Sheriff head coach commented on the match with Milsami Orhei:
- First of all, I would like to congratulate our players. They acted well today and played well. The result is, of course, very important, but the most important is the players' attitude to the game. I can say that we deserved this victory. We did not make any rough mistakes. We should be happy at this victory but we need to look in the future as well. We have one more match which is very important.
- First three goals were scored from set pieces. Did you train that before the match?
- We also prepare for each match depending on the opponent's game. It refers to game in defense and we of course get ready to set pieces delivery. Brezovec scored a great goal. Savic scored wonderfully too. Ziguy Badibanga played well on set piece. Maxim Potirniche had a good chance as well.
- Sheriff were strong in the first 45. We can congratulate you on the game, it was champions-like. Was it the task for the game to press the opponent on their part of the field?
- We tried not to let opponent midfielders play on their line. We chose ultra-attacking scheme with three forwards and pressed a lot.
- First goal by Brezovec, it is also due to work at the training sessions or it happened accidently?
- Of course, we worked on that. It was a very beautiful goal. We should also not let the opponent deliver set pieces and not to break the rules close to the box. Milsami have Georgi Andronik who performs penalty kicks very well. And we have Brezovec who is also good in set pieces, he has a very good shot.
- Did you make substitutions in the second half thinking about the next game with Zaria?
- I substituted Brezovec because he was booked. As for Bayala, he has a physical problem. It made us substitute him.
- In the second half you changed the manner of the game. Was it caused by the score?
- Yes, we fielded three central defenders. We did not want the opponent team to score. You must always be careful in football, even if you lead by the score 4:0. We just wanted to be secure in the defense.
