Head coach of FC Sheriff Zoran Zekic about the match of the 8th tour of the Championship of Moldova in the National Division:

 

- I said before the match. We sat in quarantine for 4 months, and I said that I would not be as nervous as before, but it turned out even worse. The first and second teams of the Championship played today. There were good moments and bad ones. But we will discuss this in the dressing room. I am pleased with the victory, I am grateful to my boys that they tried hard today. I am very pleased that we scored four goals after counterattacks. I don't even know what else to say.

 

- Today we have heard the word "bravo" from you many times. For the first time since the start of the season ...

- Yes, sometimes you have to say that. There was both one and the other in this match. We know what problems we have, what we need to work on. Today the game showed that we are suffering, we are working on it, we are doing an analysis, it just doesn't work out sometimes. This game was important for us today. It was clear that we were playing under great pressure and it seemed that the opponent did not have it. We have to win every game, but it's not easy to play like that. However, it is necessary. I would like my players not to be afraid of their mistakes with the ball and to play the way we practice it in training.

 

- The draw for the European competition is coming soon. Do you have any wishes?

- No preferences at all. I didn't even think about it. The most important thing is that we are all healthy and able to play this game well. Where and with whom we will play is not so important. We need to play on our own, feel pleasure and present the Champion of Moldova with dignity.

 

- Today it was like a rehearsal for the European competition. Can we say that the rehearsal was successful?

- I can say that it is successful. I have already said - I am pleased that we scored four goals after counterattacks. This is football that we have to show in Europe. In Moldova we play with an advantage, we control the ball. For Europe, such a game does not solve anything. All teams in the Championship play against us at 10 players. We want to overcome this defense, sometimes we score earlier, sometimes we don't. Today, in this regard, I am satisfied. Not happy with how we stood in the holding area. We made many mistakes. We still need to work on this, we need to be more compact. Then we will get more.
