The match against Iskra was won thanks to one goal in the second half.  This shows that the team needed 45 minutes to understand each other in the pitch, or the visitors defense played smooth?

- I thinkthat the visitors' defense played good. We had unusual squad, and the players adopted to each other during the match. In the beginning we couldn't play too well, it was hard, because the opponents played good.

What goal did the head coach underlined for the second half?

From the one side he calmed us down, but from the other he indicated that we must score, because we had better ball posession and only needed the goal. We lacked good attacks, so the coach motivated us to calm down and score. -
As far as it seems, you played right midfielder in that game. Was it comfortable for you to play there and what was the reason for such change?

There has been nothing special. Yes, I played on the left usually, and during this match I played on the right, because Luvannor is more used to play on the left, he is left-footed. So we just switched flanks.

For the last few matches Sheriff manages to score only one goal. This can cause nervousness in the end of the games. What do you think the team lacks to win by a bigger margin?

Probably we have problems with finishing. From all the opportunities, if we manage to score once, the team becomes nervous, and the opponent becomes more self-assured, begins to attack more. And of course we don't forget about the Champions League, the footballers are also waiting for those matches and it's always hard to play in two tournaments. That's why our main goal is just to win.

On Wednesday Sheriff is playing against Zagreb. What do you think about the teams' chances to advance and what has to be done for that?

Of course, we have slightly less chances, than we did in the first game, but nevertheless we have them, because we played not bad at home. Again, we didn't manage to score, but if we are lucky in Croatia, we can advance. If we score two, it will be great, if one - we'll have to test our skills in the penalty series. We just have to score and not concede, than will see what happens.

If there is penalty series, do you think it will be tough especially if speaking about the last two series, which Sheriff lost?

I don't think so, because it's lottery - all depends on the goalkeeper and the shooting player. I think those who have steel nerves are to advance.
