Zoran Zekic: "Today we didn't succeed"
Head coach of FC Sheriff Zoran Zekic about the match against Saburtalo:
- Zoran, comment on the results of the match. Is 3-0 for FC Sheriff a major score?
- What can I say? Congratulations to Saburtalo on the victory. They deserved it. Today we did not succeed. We didn’t keep the ball, and without the ball it did not work too. There was no control.
- We will not believe that for you the second leg will be a simple formality. How will you prepare the team?
- I also think about it. We have very well prepared for today's game. Made an analysis, pinned down the Saburtalo team. We knew that it was a very good team. Today we met a strong rival.
- You said yesterday before the game that you have a plan and the team is ready to fulfill it. What worked out from this plan?
- In general, nothing worked. Nothing worke in defense at all. They have three players to put pressure all the time on our holding area. We told and showed everything. We were late for every ball. In front it was the same. Almost did not attack, there was no pressure. From what was planned, practically did nothing.
- Where do you see the main mistakes today? Have all the players joined the team?
- It is clear that not everyone is in the same condition. Another issue is that made a lot of mistakes in the holding area, were late for each ball. Saburtalo put pressure on us, quickly moved the ball forward. Situations arose one to one or two to one on the flanks. We did not help each other. So football can not be played. Score 3: 0.
