Roberto Bordin: It's too early to think we have won the first trophy
FC Sheriff head coach Roberto Bordin and midfielder Radu Ginsari took part in the pre-match press conference and shared their thoughts before the final of the Cup of Moldova-Orange:
- First of all, goo day. As FC Sheriff representatives, we would like to say that we are very glad to enter the final of the Cup. And we are aware the importance of this match. We wanted to get to this match with all possible ways. We have a very strong team here, very technical team that showed high-quality football this season. At the same time we are ready to show good football and their high level.
- Sheriff has two matches in a row that will decide the end of the season. Of course, there is crazy spirit and the team cannot but have the right motivation. But how will you solve the problem of functional readiness of the team after tomorrow's match?
- After the last match of the championship we tried to do everything possible to recover before tomorrow's match. At the same time we could train well. It is our task to keep our sports shape and not have additional tension. We have a lot of work in psychological way. I am sure there is no need to have too much physical tension. Psychological factor will help us because the team is completely ready for the match.
- Will you happy with one trophy or would you like to get two trophies?
- Sheriff is ambitious team. It is early to think that we have already won the trophy. We will see after tomorrow's match. It is clear that if the team sets high tasks, then it will be getting ready for the final match during the entire season. Today we get ready for tomorrow's match and the rest we will see. It would be a mistake to think about the second match. All efforts must be put to winning the Cup.
- There is a zebra in Chisinau zoo that forecasts the results of matches. Her name is Vali. Last season it guessed the owners of the Champions League and Europa League. This season it forecasts Sheriff will win the Cup. What do you think about it?
- (smiling). I wanted to say the same as Radu. I can only say that if the result is right, we will take zebra to Tiraspol. Do you know this zebra personally? Will you help? Leaving jokes behind, it is important to be a fesitve day for Moldovan football and spectators. We are ready for this match and after that we will see the result.
- Maybe it should take the field?
- No, we will take it to Tiraspol. You can go with it if you know it so well.
- In a few days you can become both a hero or antihero of the season. Is there a person in Italy who can support you and bring positive thoughts before such a hard match?
- Now I am emotionally stable. The team supports me with all ways. We wanted to play in this match very much. My wife supports me who came here today and my children in Italy support me. We have worked well to achieve this goal and tomorrow we will play final.
- Are you all players in good health, is there someone who cannot play?
- At the moment almost all players are ready. We have many players in the team and we can use them any minute.
- Many finals end in additional time and penalty shootouts. Do you train this?
- In the last semifinal we won in penalty but this is lottery. The teams try to play in the main time. Taking into account that final is one match, we will try not to concede.
- It is clear that you have analyzed the opponent's game. Can you mark someone from the opponent team?
- Not mentioning names I can say the team examined each other well. Zaria is a very technical team and possesses the ball great. I think the main thing is their collective game.
- Where do you expect threats from?
- I hope there will not be any threats. Let's leave personalities away from it. We will play against the team that showed themselves as a whole.
