Yuriy Vernidub: "Opened, won 2-0, deservedly so"
Head coach of FC "Sheriff", Brij Vernidub, about the match of the 29th round against FC "Saint George":
- Congratulations on your victory. First, your impression of the match ...
- I said before the game that the opponent will close with the whole team and will wait for our mistake. For Maxim it is a counterattack if someone runs away. We knew that very well. It is clear that it is difficult to open such a saturated defense. Nevertheless, we opened it, won 2-0, deservedly, without any options. I think it was a good game and a lesson for us. The only thing: we speak for football, which is slow. But there will never be intensity if every touch of a football player blows a whistle. I do not understand this. I think we need to let them play. Then you get into euro tournaments and you realize that you are walking against your opponents on foot. This is because you are not used to that kind of intensity. She is needed, and this is what I would like with FC Sheriff. I understand that no matter how we prepare physically, if the team cannot give intensity, then there will be problems.
- I want to ask you about the nervousness on the edge. Is it about this, or did the players not play tactically correctly?
- I am a calm person. But I don’t understand and don’t agree. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't agree with such whistles. There must be a struggle. I believe that if there is a violation, no question. But if there is a struggle and the opponent is being pushed aside by the body, then this is not a foul, but a struggle. You need to make you feel that there is a rival, to fight. A little emotion was overflowing. But it is better to throw them out here than to keep in yourself and then have problems.
- The lead over the pursuers increased by 13 points. Will the players not be relaxed?
- You know, I think about it from the very beginning. There is no reason to worry yet. The guys are always in tune, the guys go out and play to the end. I think we will rotate in some games to give the guys time, those who play less. He will prepare for each game as for the final. We have seven rounds of the Championship and the game with FC Petrokub left. If it is in our favor, then also the final. That is - 9. Each of these games is final for us. I told the guys, and they understand it, we are preparing and pursuing our goals.
- Will the rotation also apply to the match with FC Petrokub?
- Not. We will seriously prepare with Petrokub. The game will be the same, the opponent will wait for our mistake. We will prepare seriously. Let's analyze it again, let's say to the guys. Let's repeat what we have to do when the team plays five defenders. We will tune in and prepare.
