It's hard to say something now. We lost. We are disappointed with our game, with the fact that we couldn't thank supporters who came to the stadium. We lost a lot of battles on the pitch and now we have to find why.
 
Can you say that new players didn't play as you expected?
To some extent, yes. We had problems. In a week three players didn't train and had the first training only yesterday and that's why looked out of the game. We couldn't use Balima fully because he just returned and didn't train for a long time. That's why the players played worse than they can.
 
Why were Pesic and Markovski absent?
Pesic and Markovski didn't prepare for this game because of their performance and discipline. They are moved to the second team currently.
 
It seemed that Sheriff lost physically, especially in the second half.
I agree and because of it we have lost battles and losses of the ball. We looked physically bad.
 
If some players didn't train, didn't you make mistakes with the squad?
We took the risk. But I don't think that the guys who trained a lot would have been better. We don't have much choice currently but for sure without proper preparation you cannot do much.
 
Nevertheless you have at least two Europa league matches ahead...
We have to make conclusions, you can't progress without it. You have to make conclusions and go forward.
