The weather brought its changes. The field was wet, so both teams failed to convert many chances. The game turned out to be closed. In the first half we tried to score a quick goal and wanted to play counterattacks. Our weak side is positional attack and it was confirmed today. We needed to play out more. We did not have real chances to score, only two-three attempts. In such weather one must shoot at the goal more often but unfortunately we did not have many shots. I congratulate “Sheriff” on the win and I wish them luck in Europa League.

You did not follow the best striker of the championship Luvannor. Did you pay attention to this player before the game?
Yes, we did pay attention to him. He was able to use our mistake today. Our players could not block Luvannor at the set piece. It is called mastership of the striker.

You had a successful series of win games in the championship before today’s game. Did it influence the course of the match?
I told the guys before the game that this match will show what they can do today. I asked them to be more open. I will say again that we lost many chances and switched from defense to attack for a long time either because of the wet field or the lack of mastership.
