Roman Pylypchuk: «We lacked individual qualities»
Head coach of FC Sheriff, Roman Pylypchuk, about the first official spring match of the season:
- Your comments on today's match.
- We expected that the opponent would come and play deep in defense, and that it would be difficult to open up. We again had problems that were revealed at the training camp, the realization of chances. In the first half we had a lot of chances, but we had to realize them, so that the opponent opened up. Every time you don`t score, don`t score, don`t score, the opponent gets confidence. In the second half, they played six men in a line. We had to open up individually, and individually we did not have enough qualities.
- Can you summarize the results of the training camp?
- The team is new. A lot of work has been done. The goals are the same - emotional and physical condition, in a very short period of time we had to establish game interactions. It was important. To say today 100 percent that we are ready and know who will play with Dacia, we can`t say, because someone looks better, someone looks worse. And the players came to us in different condition. We realize that the general condition is wavy, and this is not very happy.
- Have the new players convinced you?
- Not yet. I have already said that so far it has been a wave-like state. Someone is better today, another one tomorrow, and this is not pleasing. They were in different states. There are moments that are pleasing, ball control, the control of the game was full, but when teams will come here and wait for a counterattack, it is hard for us to hide the saturated defense so far. We need individual qualities, and today we lacked them. Well, the moments that we had, we need to solve them. In the first half there were a lot of chances that should have been scored.

- How difficult was it to play on an artificial pitch?
- There is no difference. Probably, at this time of year it is better to play on artificial turf, which is of higher quality than on the lawns, on which we played yesterday in Balti. On such a lawn it would be even more difficult for us to open such a rich defense. We are satisfied that we played here.
