FC Sheriff head coach, Zoran Zekic, about the Cup match with Dinamo-Auto:

 

- Good evening. Congratulations to my team on the victory. Congratulations to Dinamo-Auto on a very good game. I can say that today the game was very good on both sides, there was a lot of quality, a lot of attacks, a lot of moments. God grant that there are more such matches in Moldova. We will prepare for Saturday.

 

- For you it was a very emotional game. What were you dissatisfied with, and what did you say to the players during the match?

- It's always like that with me. You can’t play football without emotions. Sometimes I want my players to have more emotions. This is football. Much did not work, hence the dissatisfaction. This is the situation. The team has been training for 8-9 months. I understand that they're tired. But, we need to find strength and will to finish the remaining matches. Then we will think what to do next.

 

- Cojocaru played a lot in defense today. What is the reason for this?

- You noticed that. We have problems. Sometimes the boys are unsure of themselves, lose the ball, there is no player in defense, so you need to come back. It happens in football. Today he played for the first time in this position. Thank God for winning. I do not like to speak immediately and praise, but I will say. Our young players are improving. Today Denis Makalic played. It was his first match. God grant that he continues to play this way. I am very pleased with his game and want to give him even more chances. He will now play in the Champions League for Under-19, then he will work with the first team.

 

- Today there were many moments, but scored only in the end. Was it an excess of desire or lack?

- For the last 2-3 games I have been thinking of changing the kit and starting to enter the field, play football. I don’t know what this is connected with. Today I told my coaching staff that we can no longer work to complete the attack, move with and without the ball. We work a lot. But sometimes it happens in life, you work a lot, but it doesn’t work out.
