Yury Osipenko: "We have a tough period now"
Mr. Osipenko, you lost again and didn't score.
Yes, we lost this time, but I liked this game, because my footballers fought on the pitch and showed commitment. They fought from the beginning to the end. I'm grateful for the job they have done. We should have scored, because had good opportunities, then the score could have been different. You saw, Sheriff had 3 opportunities and converted two of them. Mr. Stochita maybe thought that he was playing against Barcelona, because he shouted his commands often and loud. I even thought that I am the head coach of Barcelona, and not Rapid. His reaction showed that he liked the way my footballers play.
You didn't shout commands.
I gave as many advices as I could, I didn't have to shout - my players have to play football and score goals. After 0-1 and 0-2 we still could change the game. But Sheriff is a strong team. To win against such team - it must have a bad day, they must make mistakes. Sheriff didn't make a single mistake and we conceded because we were not attentive. I like the style my players played today, they acted really good.
It's hard for you to earn points and Mr. Ostap said that no-one will get money until winter.
It's hard for us now. It's hard to motivate the players, when you can't pay them. You can choose any tactics, if the players are not willing to play, you can't make them do it. We are in Rapid, with all positive and negative things. We are not as rich as Sheriff, but this is the situation.
You lose game after game. Didn't you think about inviting the priest to your training session or go to the church?
You know, our team has it's problems. It's hard to fight against these problems and our opponents. We are not the team, who can fight everyone. We had a good streak this season. Again, we have two more matches, that we hope to play good. Maybe we should invite the priest (smiling). We have to do anything about it.
