Zoran Zekic: "We must be prepared for such teams"
The head coach of FC Sheriff Zoran Zekic about the match with Speranta, Nisporeni:
- Good evening. What to say about the match? I do not even know. Boys tried hard, a lot did not work, lacked quality in the line of attack. For the first 20 minutes everything seemed to be normal, and then there was no player who could score. The field was what it was, the ball either. It is difficult to do something against the team that played with the whole line-up in defense. We’ll go ahead, will work.
- Two matches in a row 0: 0 - how to estimate this?
- I knew there would be such a question. With Petrocub we did not deserve to score. Today we tried, but the game was very difficult. We know what problems we have, so we will solve them.
- What’s happened with Cristiano?
- I don’t know yet. I hope that there will be nothing serious. There was a hit to the knee. I think it’s just a pinched nerve. At first it is very painful and I really hope that there is nothing serious.
- Did the quality of the field affect the game?
- Sure. I have already said that. But we must be prepared for teams that focus only on defense. It is very difficult to do something on such a pitch with such a ball. If you do more than one or two touches, then the opponent manages to regroup.
- What bothers you more - that the team doesn’t win or that it doesn’t score?
- I have a lot to worry about. Every day we talk about problems. Maybe now it’s not working out. We must continue to work.
- Ahead it is a match for the Cup. What to expect, will you try something new?
- What's new to try? I don’t even know that we can try a new one. Already tried a lot. Our problem is that many Moldavian players are not in the best condition. Anton, for example, played today after an injury, he only spent a couple of trainings. We need to think a little.
