Roman Pнlнpchuk: «It's hard for the players, but the guys did well, they did everything»
The head coach of FC Sheriff Roman Pнlнpchuk after the victory in the 11th round against FC Milsami:
- Comment on the match, everything seemed to be comfortable until the 90th minute.
- We watched the goal now - we scored from outside the game, but it doesn't matter. To be objective, today is the day when the result is good, but the quality of the game is not very good. There are reasons for that. In any case, I want to thank the guys for the good work done, the hard work that they endure this difficult cycle. We will prepare for Servette.
- You didn't coach the team when you lost in Orhei. Was there any additional motivation in the team to take revenge?
- Of course, there was motivation. Still, defeats are not forgotten. The players were preparing for the match and, I think, some kind of imprint was postponed. Responsibility for the result, plus they understood that Zimbra won. Probably, everything worked together.
- Today was a mutually tough game. How can you explain it?
- Yes, it's fine, emotions. We love football for emotions. Probably, our emotions sometimes went over the edge, and the emotions of the players and coaches of Orheev. It is ok. These are the matches for leadership in the standings. Now we will calm down and they will calm down, we will continue to move on our way.
- Can we say that the game in Geneva next week will be key in terms of future prospects in the Europa League or the Conference League?
- Of course, and we understand that. And we know that we have difficulties with the composition. It can be seen that during the time I have been here, the loads have fallen on the same players. Now we will try to restore them in these couple of days. Plus there is a flight, quite difficult, three and a half hours. At the same time, we are not looking for excuses, we will prepare calmly, purposefully and go try to take points.
- You replaced Joao Paulo in the first half of the match with Servette, today he was one of the best on the field. Has he regained your trust?
- It's not about trust. The fact is that, if we analyze, Joao Paulo played for a very long period of time all the time for the national team, and he played here, and the flights were difficult. When I replaced him with Servette, I talked to him and told him not to despair. This is the moment when he needs to rest. We did it. In the match with Dacia, if you noticed, we released him at the end. I think that during this time, which he did not play, gave him the opportunity to recover and today the actions that he showed on the field satisfied us. The first goal is his great merit that we scored the first goal.
- Louvannor watched the match from the stands. Is everything okay with the Brazilian?
- no. Yesterday, the day before the game, it was raining and there was a little damage on the heavy field. Hopefully, it will be ready in a couple of days. I repeat - we played a rather complicated game cycle, the load falls on the same players. We are aware, and it was evident today, that it is difficult for the players. The guys did well, they did everything.
