Zoran Zekic: "People who come to the stadium should see a good game"
FC Sheriff head coach, Zoran Zekic, was frank at a press conference after the match with Codru:
- I want to congratulate the team on their victory and how they played the second half. I want to congratulate the opponent who showed a real fight. We suffered in the first half, did not cling to the ball, did not move in the attack line, and there was no individual quality. In the second half, we raised the rhythm, played as agreed to play from the first minutes and, thank God, it turned out to score two goals. There were still moments. Now you need to rest a couple of days and continue to work.
- Latifi's early replacement with Ribeiro, is it related to injury or another reason?
- I think that you yourself saw - the reason is different. In the first half, I was very dissatisfied with the edges, the center forward, was not pleased with the number of players in the attack. I can repeat, think and ask every day. But, sometimes you need to take the steps that I took today.
- Congratulated the team on the game in the second half. When will the moment come when you say that you are satisfied with the whole game?
“We need to wait for this moment.” I guess I'll wait. Unfortunately. We’ll still be a little tormented.
- Matches are very difficult for teams from the bottom of the standings. Is it related to mood?
- Not. Sometimes this is the quality of the game, sometimes you have to run and move without the ball. I can just explain, but this is not visible on the field. When you play against a team that defends with 10 players, you need to open the zone, you have to cling to the ball, you need to quickly change the direction of attack. This is all we work out in training. Not always obtained in games. Those players who recently came, they had freshness then. Not so now. This I can still understand. God grant that after a pause everything was different.
- Was Boban replaced because of a miss on an empty net?
- Not. It's not a miss. It is important for me that every striker has moments. The rest later. The main thing is to complete the installation. It is simply impossible sometimes to stand on the field like a tree and expect what the situation will be. If he moved better today, he would have scored those moments. And if you play like today, then you did not deserve to score. God see everything.
- A bad game in the first half - a reflection of affairs in the standings, a big margin said its word?
- We have such conversations every day. You can’t think so. I have already talked a lot about this. We should be happy every day, every workout, every game. We must play so that those people who come to the stadium see a good game and see that we give everything to the field. They became champions, or did not. There is still a bit. But the guys should play for themselves. If so, the team will look good. Everything is working out for us. There are eight more tours. If I see that a football player has no progress, why should I continue to suffer with him? There is a lot to work on. They get paid every month, probably the largest in Moldova. I do not want to be ashamed to lead the team from the edge.
