Vitaly Rashkevich: "We are playing too slow"
First of all I'd like to excuse before the fans for this game, for the first half, that was bad for us. Even taking into the account that we could score two or three times in the first half. But it is not important. The most important thing is that we didn't play in the first half. In the second half as soon as we began to play quicker, we gained advantage, scored a goal and could score more, but failed. I think the result is correct.
You said that the team didn't play. Why?
Well, it isn't so, the team was on the pitch, but everything it was doing was done slowly. When the ball went to the attack line, we couldn't make decision quickly, play with it and as a result we got counter-attacks. We played slow. Our central defenders played as playmakers. It isn't good.
We can see that the team cannot cope with many tasks on the pitch. What is happening to it?
Sheriff now occupies the first place and there is great space between us and the second team and it is correct place for us. I think that the main reason is that we play too slow. Nowadays you have to play much quicker.
Pascenco and Luvannor didn't participate today. Why?
Pascenco has had too many cards and Luvannor is still injured and didn't train.
