Serghei Paschenco and his comments on the last game
FC Sheriff goalkeeper Serghei Paschenco talked to the official site of the club about his impressions after the match against FC Zimbru.
The game was a key one both for us and for the opponent. I have often played against FC Zimbru in my career and these matches were always tensed and emotional. Last game was not only spectacular but also emotional because the result put pressure on both teams. There was fight, confrontations, emotions, so the players enjoyed the game. We would like to have more of such matches in the championship. Moreover, the supporters who visited the match created a great atmosphere and despite having an away match we were pleased to play at full stands.
Do you think FC Sheriff started playing on the defense or were FC Zimbru quicker in the attack?
It is difficult for me to analyze this moment. When the team is leading the score in an important match, you want to keep that winning score, so you should try to find your chance in counterattacks. We did not play in the defense and had good chances to score. Maybe we did not convert all our chances but FC Sheriff won and it means we did everything in the right way.
Is the team satisfied after gaining revenge over FC Zimbru?
You get three points for each game and every victory is very important for us in the emotional way. Of course, we are emotionally satisfied with the victory in an away match after two defeats in the Cup and Supercup. But there are many matches and ahead, we will get full satisfaction only after winning the championship.
You spent a good match today. Are you afraid that everything may change in such a moment when the team wins by the minimal score and everyone is expecting you to make a save?
In the match against FC Zimbru all the team were heroes and every player did everything he could. We all were one team. I agree with our coach that after a long time FC Sheriff played like one team. Everyone knew what they wanted and they waited for that win. Why should I be afraid to make a mistake? Why then take the field if thinking about mistakes? In order to achieve good result, you should always think positive.
