Assistant Head Coach of FC “Sheriff”, Marijan Karoglan, about the victory over “Zimbru”:

- How can you evaluate the game?
- First of all, I want to congratulate the whole team, the whole club and, of course, the players who played well today. We fulfilled all the plans that we were preparing. We knew the opponents' scheme, 5-3-2, and were ready to play a lot of pressing. We started the match well, and the first 20 minutes were at a very high level. Then we gave the ball away and wanted to use the space. That's how we scored the second goal. After 25 minutes we reduced the pressure on the opponent's defense. Probably, because of this we started to have problems. In the second half we had to change the scheme of the game, the scheme of pressing and influencing the opponent. There was enough play on the counterattack. It's a pity that we didn`t score more, we could do it 2-3 times. I think we completely outplayed the opponent. Once again I want to congratulate the team and the players who fought like wars.

- How can you assess the physical condition of the team?
- A few players were ill with covitis. They came out today, and it was obvious that they lacked a little bit of oxygen. But they got through it, played all 90 minutes. Yes there were mistakes, in some situations they made wrong decisions and were late with pressing. Of course, it was a risky move, but they came and beat Zimbru, a well-organized Zimbru. What can I add, we are happy with the victory,

- Yade had chances but he didn't use them.....
- The game of each player depends solely on the tactical scheme and the players must first of all play for the team, if we want to create a good team.
