Andrei Corneencov: «We try to achieve results in every match – this is the philosophy of the club and our team»
Coach of FC Sheriff U-19 Andrei Korneenkov about the victory over FC Partizan U-19 - 2:0.
- Andrei, such a "valid" match, how would you comment?
- Me and the entire coaching staff, hats off, for the fact that the guys were men on the field today. They put the opponent in an awkward position a little bit. We gave them the initiative, which they eventually could not cope with. We used our chances and punished them for such a wasteful game from behind.
- Are two balls enough for the opponent to pass?
- In football, sometimes five goals are not enough, let's not think ahead in this regard. There is a difficult period ahead. A pause for the national teams, a large category of players leaves for training camps. There are also serious games with strong opponents. Getting ready, getting ready, and getting ready again.
- Did the guys show character, a tough second half, was there an attitude to endure and hold the onslaught, or did the opponent press the goal?
- There was such a strategy, to invite them with large forces forward, while creating free zones and looking for your chance. The standard provisions were, let's say, "worth their weight in gold" today, but it's good that we implemented one, plus counterattacks. On the one hand, we scored and there were still prerequisites for taking the goal, we need to squeeze it all out and implement it. The most important thing is that we worked well in defense.
- Of your football players, some are called up to the adult team to play, will it affect the physical condition of the players?
- Football requires constant attention to the player. Yes, there is a load, we play in the championship. There are a lot of matches, but we don't divide them by importance, we go from game to game. We try to achieve results in every match – this is the philosophy of the club and our team.
- Partizan was initially the favorite, did the score surprise you?
- I was not surprised, we talked to some guys before the game, I said that we would score two goals today, everything turned out that way.
- It turns out you guessed right?
- Without a bit of luck, nothing always works out either. The main thing is that the guys have fulfilled everything we asked of them today.
