Roberto Bordin: We didn’t lose spirits and won
FC Sheriff head coach Roberto Bordin about the game against FC Lokomotiv Moskva:
Good evening. First, let me say that sometimes when you think the final of the movie seems predictable it can bring a surprise. We are glad with how the game ended. Especially, considering that it was a very strong team – Moscow’s Lokomotiv. At the same time, we could have shot more goals. Ziguy Badibanga also had opportunities. In the end, we pushed the pressure. We were almost at risqué. But as the result we got three important points.
This game, don’t you think it reminds the game we had in Tiraspol but the rival didn't make any conclusions of it. Moreover, an important role played the goalkeeper’s injury. And if not Guillerme’s substitution, everything could have been otherwise.
In Tiraspol, it was a different game. Today both teams had their chances. As for Guillerme, he is a good goalkeeper. He showed an excellent play in Tiraspol. Today, he also did his best and several times saved the team. The strength of our team is that till the last moment we believe in our chances. We were fast to react to the conceded goal. We didn’t lose spirits and won.
During the first 20 minutes Sheriff shot off five corner kicks. Have you planned an offensive play from the beginning?
We wanted to attack. We didn’t want to play second numbers. During the first 20 minutes we had many corners and that’s because our task was to cause lots of problems to the opponent. Even if Lokomotiv have good players, we managed to do what we planned.
Are there many challenging games like this one for Sheriff in the Moldovan Championship?
In our Championship we have good rivals. Lokomotiv is the top level team and the Europa League is a tournament of an absolutely different level. Today, we celebrate the victory and tomorrow we will begin preparations for an important fight in the Championship. On Monday, we have a tough game against Spicul.
Sheriff 12 times shot from outside of the penalty box. Was it your instruction after Guillerme’s substitution?
It’s crucial to shot on goal every time we have a chance. If to consider the goal scored by Brezovec, the kick was really nice. It was difficult to the goalie to turn away the ball in such case. And it’s not the goalkeeper what matters. The goalie that came off the subs’ bench also saved the team many times. He is the keeper of top level. But we create moments regardless of the circumstances.
