Goran Sablic: Some players need time
FC Sheriff head coach Goran Sablic after the match for the Super Cup:
-I would like to congratulate the Milsami team on winning the Super Cup. The game was not really beautiful. Both from one and the other hands. Conditions were not ideal, and it was difficult to control the ball. In the first half we had no compactness between lines. Lost all rebounds. Did not manage to control the game as we wanted. The ball moved not as planned. In the second half we improved it. There were 3-4 quite good moments. Did not score. Unfortunately, lost in a Penalty series.
- How it turns out that you held two training camps in Turkey, Milsami trained knee-deep in snow, hardly held several sparrings and as a result Milsami won the Super Cup?
-It happens so. We won’t explain away that we carried out two training camps in Turkey. We had an opportunity and we went. Every year we go. If you remember, all matches with Milsami are not easy for us. I said before the match that this team has a quality and experience. I knew why I told this. It is difficult to us to play.
- Perhaps underestimated the rival?
-You insist again. I say we didn’t and before the match I said that we didn’t. We wanted very much to win and seriously prepared for this match. Unfortunately, did not win. We did not play our best game, but we had chances, and quite good. Once again I congratulate the rival, and we will wait for the beginning of the championship.
-What was the reason that played not really well?
- It is clear, that changed the team a little. Some players need time for adaptation, to form the squad. Conditions, I will repeat, were not ideal too. At the same time, understand, I do not want to explain away. But at the moment we do not show that football which we had last season.
- In Turkey created many moments, scored goals. Today the attack did not prove itself …
-First the rival played well in defense. I will not repeat about conditions. It not an explanation, but the match was very difficult.
-Won’t it become a problem for You that the absence of a creative player is felt in the middle line all passes to feet?
-Maybe. We have Palic but today he, unfortunately, did not show it. He is capable, he has a creative. Signed one more football player - José, the Spaniard. He has small problems with muscles therefore he did not play today. We need to strengthen the game moments when a ball is in our feet. It is clear, that all teams will come here and will defense. We’ll work.
