- It is always difficult to play against FC Sheriff, especially at their home stadium. Our main central defender Kuassi Kuadzha missed the match because of too many yellow cards so we had problems in the defense. The game lasted till the first goal. FC Sheriff went forward, we wanted to come back and started to open. We knew we should now give FC Sheriff space but we wanted to come back and recoup. We are not a team now which can resist to FC Sheriff. We need to work more. The players are young and ambitious, so we have people to work with. We make a sober estimate of the situation, we lost but life continues. We will get prepared for the next game.
 
Did the absence of one central defender influence conceded goals?
One defender is 25% of the defense. Kuassi Kuadzha is one of the best of our defenders. We missed one person today. Goals are mostly scored from the position of the central defender. Today all goals except for the fourth one were conceded at that zone.
 
You put Kalmish at the field during the break and the first goal was scored as a result of his mistake. What was the reason of this substitution?
The thing is that some players do not have the level that we need. FC Sheriff had their moments in the first half as well. We decided to strengthen home zone and involved Kravchesku but at some place we weakened the right flank of the defense. Kalmish did not play for a long time and if not to take into account his mistake he tried hard and showed his good sides although his level is lower than that of the National Division. We should vary team’s composition taking the opponent into account.
