Shota Makharadze: «Strength and Future belong to the Youth»
Head coach of the FC Sheriff youth team about the crushing victory in the championship debut:
- Shota, congratulations on your victory! How important was it to achieve victory in the first round of the championship?
- Thank you very much! I won't hide that there was some excitement before the game. The first match of the championship, a young team, a new generation. The boys had a great desire to play, to prove themselves from the best side, so I was worried about how not to burn out in this regard. At the end of the game, I can say with confidence that the strength and future belong to the youth. I am grateful to the team and the whole collective for today's victory, it is very important to start the championship in good spirits.
- From the first minutes of the game, our team began to act aggressively. Was there the mindset on a quick goal to the rivals' goal?
- No, but there was an inmindset to play fast football. We encourage the team to play at higher speeds with more sprints. Plus the training that we conducted at the training camp affected this result in the game score.
- How do you estimate the game of Mihai Gecev? Do not you think that in some moments he overexposed the ball?
- Mihai is an attacking and creative player. In creation, he confidently took the game by himself and this must be done in modern football. At the end of the game he got tired, so the quality of his game decreased slightly.
- Today, many points were not used by another attack player - Ivan Ciumacenco. What is the reason?
- It is hard to say. In training, he scores a lot and a lot of the game is built on him. Today did not score, in the next game will definitely prove himself.
- Just about the next game. In the second round, our opponent is the FC Zimbru youth team ...
- Matches with Zimbru are always principled and intense. Preparation is going according to plan, we will not depart from our aggressive football doctrine also in the match with the Chisinau club.
