Benjamin Balima: The result is of the top priority
Highly-experienced defender of the Yellow-Blacks' Benjamin Balima talks about the game against FC Petrocub (3-1) and about FC Lokomotiv:
Behjamin, how could you characterize the past game of our team against FC Petrocub?
We are so glad to win the match against FC Petrocub. We must win every game in the championship. We want to defend our title and to win more trophies. We should seek victory over every rival. The result is of the top priority. I don’t know if the game was interesting as the most important was that we could get the points we needed.
You’ve shot a fine goal into Dmitri Celeadnic’s net. In the previous interview you said it was important to be more responsible and brave. Was it what happened in the moment of scoring the goal?
Yes, this time I took over the responsibility again. The coach often tells me that I must rely on my experience. When our tutor entrusts me the captain’s armband with this gesture he places definite expectations on me and, of course, the weight of responsibility. I understand that I shall serve as the role model for the rest.
On Thursday, our team fights against FC Lokomotiv. What can you say about our opponents and situation in our group?
We have good teams in our group but they also can be passed over.
You’ve been playing in a yellow-black shirt for long. Do you think we can beat FC Lokomotiv in the third group stage for the Europa League?
FC Lokomotiv are serious opponents. They have strong players and each of them is strong in the individual sense. FC Sheriff are a close-knit team. I think that’s our biggest strength. The pitch will be a battle field where FC Sheriff’s team spirit confronts individualism of FC Lokomotiv’s players. We must win this match to move up to the next level.
How do you prepare for the game against FC Lokomotiv? What is the atmosphere in the team?
The team is in positive mood. The victory gained on Sunday also contributed to this. The players are concentrated on the game and are ready to fight.
