Alexandru Onica: "We have to win the next match"
Why do you think Sheriff couldn't hold the victory?
- I don't know. Maybe after the score 2-0 we thought that everything was decided. As a result we made mistakes and conceded two goals, although we played well. Also we couldn't convert many goal-scoring opportunities, and were punished for this. I don't know what has happened to us.
Did the head coach discuss poor realization with the team?
- After the game with Rapid we had such conversation, but not now. We had a day off. He never says anything instantly, but on the second day we usually examine the details. Today we will talk about why we couldn't score more.
Was the lack of Samardzic and Ivanov vital for the team?
- Everyone can miss the match. They are important players for our team, but we could win this match even without them. It happened, that we conceded two silly goals. Maybe, if they have been in the squad, we wouldn't have conceded them. It's football. Everyone deserves their chance to play.
The game against Rapid was long and tough. Maybe the fatigue is the reason of the result?
- After the game against Rapid we had light training sessions, had no fatigue or pressure. Everything went good. After the cup game we managed to score twice against Iskra. I think fatigue was not the reason.
What has changed in Iskra's game, in comparison to the game of the first round?
- I didn't play then, but I can say that they tried to play to the end, played agressively.
