Zoran Zekic: "We want to win each game"
Head coach of FC Sheriff about the match against Zimbru, the future and the progress in the game of the team:
- What can I say. In the first half suffered. And suffered a lot, with the ball and without the ball. A lot of hasn’t turned out today. We wanted to give some players a rest, some chance to add. Sometimes it does not work. In the second half, after the substitutions, it became better. I can not say that we played so intentionally today. The most important thing is that won, and we can calmly prepare for the Thursday match.
- Today, two newcomers took the field, how do you estimate their game?
- I did not expect anything special from them.They last played in official matches about three months ago. Didn’t have training camp. I am satisfied, and first of all with the fact that they were not injured. Clearly, they are not ready, but after each game we have such a conversation, but there is no time. We have to think how to prepare them so that on Thursday we see freshness.
- How will you spend time before the Europa League?
- We’ll go on a picnic (laughter in the hall). Seriously, we will prepare. There will be more tactical exercises than work on loads. We had a conversation after Partizani. We need to prepare a team psychologically. As for the conditions, in this direction it is no longer possible to work in this direction. We’ll analyze the game of AIK, will see how they play. I think that a lot will depend on us. The rival is stronger than Saburtalo than Partizani. We must prepare well in all directions.
- It was the ninth consecutive victory under your leadership in the domestic championship. There is a feeling that this series will last until the end of the Championship. Is it so?
- How much is left until the end, 1-2 games? 12? You can't think that way. For us, the most important game is on Thursday. Of course, we want to win every game, both in Europe and in the Championship. Also, we want to enjoy our game. “Sheriff” is written at the front, the player’s name - on the back. Therefore, the games should be treated so that every player knows, and I, either, that I gave myself completely. For example, I can not say that in today's match a couple of football players enjoyed football. It is possible to get pleasure even when you play in defense and help your partner. Today this has not always been the case. We want to win each game, but also to see progress in the game of the team, in the game of football players, especially the young ones.
