Zoran Zekic: "We want to play well for our supporters"
Head coach of FC Sheriff, Zoran Zekic, about tomorrow's match of the second qualifying round of the Europa League with FC Partizani, Albania:
- Good day. You know that the first game in Tirana took place. Thank God, we won. But, I said right after the match that only the first half ended. Tomorrow we will have a difficult match. We can not relax. Opponent, probably made an analysis of the game, as well as we. Found our strengths and weaknesses, and the opponent. We need to make less mistakes, we play at home and we hope that tomorrow fans will support us from the stands of the stadium. It remains for us to show that we play much better than in the last match played at home. There are unresolved a couple of questions, there are injured players. We will not call names now. It remains to observe at training, and then decide who will take the field tomorrow.
- The team has a new player. Will he be able to come out tomorrow, and how do you estimate him, his qualities?
- Yes, we have another new player. We did not have time to declare him to the games in the second round of qualification. If everything is normal, he will play on Sunday against Zimbru. If we succeed, we will play in the next round in Europe. I expect him to strengthen our game. This is the position that required amplification. In each game we have new players. This is visible in the game, there are mistakes. There is still work to do. It is necessary to make an analysis, and he himself must quickly penetrate. If all goes well, we will have 7 days to prepare everything.
- You have one ball advantage. Tomorrow will you protect this result or will you play like a host in the home game?
- Very good question. I can only repeat. We played only the first half. This is a dangerous result. I think the tactics that were in Tirana will be for tomorrow's match. Everyone needs to do his job well, both in defense, in midfield, and in attack. We must quickly attack, do pressure. I can tell you a lot right now, but the main thing is to show tomorrow on the field. We will think about tactics. Many important factors, including standard posotions. Tomorrow we will play both in attack and defense.
- It so happened that in the last home game the team lost with a major score, leaving a negative residue. Is there a challenge to make amends to the supporters?
- Of course. Maybe, first of all, because of this, we want to strive to be better every day. We did not expect the result, which was in that first match. Played badly. I watched both matches Saburtalo with Dinamo, Zagreb. The Georgian team showed that they have the strength, the quality, they have been playing together for 3-4 years. In this they differ from us. Tomorrow we want to play well for our supporters. After that, we will have time to think in order to be even better in the next matches.
