Yuri Osipenco: “They damped our spirits, and did it well”
- The match was truly interesting. I want to congratulate FC Sheriff on their deserved win. Today they played freely with a feeling. Perhaps, during the break FC Sheriff in the championship they had time to get well prepared. As for us, we had problems after the last game. Not all of our players recovered. FC Sheriff looked more fresh on the pitch comparing to us. It was seen in the first minutes that the hosts possessed the ball more and there were more moves. In terms of this we failed a bit. Now we need to pull ourselves together. There are four matches left in the championship, there still are chances for winning the championship. While we have this chance we will fight till the end.
What was the absence of your main players connected with?
First of all, with the last game against FC Saxan. The guys put much effort. And gain this transfer from synthetic field on the natural one has a negative influence on the players. Believe me, it is hard. I understand that we can play on the synthetic field in the winter but when April and May games take place on this type of field… it is nonsense. The entire third round is like this. So we have many injured players. But we all are in the same conditions. Unfortunately this factor was negative for us.
Three defeats in a row. Can you say about some kind of decrease?
One defeat is different from the other one. We conceded in the match against FC Tiraspol due to our mistakes, although we played better. In Chadir-Lunga we dominated but at some point we lost luck. Perhaps, it was too early for us to believe that we won the championship. Now our spirits were damped. It is time for us to wake up and start all over.
