Stjepan Tomas: "If we had scored earlier, it would have been easier"
The head coach of the first team of FC Sheriff Stjepan Tomas about the match against FC Sfintul Gheorghe:
- Two different halves today turned out. What do you think, what is it connected with?
- Two different halves. The players who came out in the second half changed the game and scored. The most important thing is that today we won and earned three points. In the first half, Badolo and Ouattara dropped out. They played for the national team and got tired. We had chances in the first half as well. If we had scored earlier, it would have been easier. We played well in the second half. Congratulations to everyone on the victory, well done players.
- Did Felipe Vizeu earn a place in the starting lineup against Real Sociedad with his performance?
- Let's see. Vizeu worked well while there were national team games. He is already ready, I think 90 percent, ready and physically. Scored two goals today. Let's see.
- Matches with Real Sociedad will probably be key in the fight for qualifying from the group?
- Real Sociedad is a good team. In Spain there are always good teams in third, fourth or fifth place. I think we have a chance. Now the team is ready and physically too. It is important that today we won, took three points. We will prepare for the match against Real Sociedad. We have a good chance of winning and second place.
-Sheriff has a very busy month of October. Will you rotate the squad or will you bet on the backbone?
- The most important thing now is the game against Sociedad. Then we have Dinamo-Auto. I told the team that the players who do well will play in the first team. There are players who do not get into the squad, but they work well and today it was important. And Lushkja, and Vitor, and Vizeu came on as a substitute and showed themselves.
- How does Rasheed Akanbi feel?
- Before the game, he felt discomfort in his muscles, but I think he will be ready for Real Sociedad.
