AIK head coach: "The main reason for the defeat from Vorskla is that we lost to the rival midfield"

Head coach of the Swedish AIK Bartosz Grzelak explained the reasons for the defeat of his team by Vorskla Poltava (2:3) in the 2nd qualifying round of the Conference League. As a reminder, the opponents will play the second leg next Thursday, July 28.

“In the second leg against Vorskla, it will be necessary to play compactly and stay close to each other when playing defensively, trying to win the ball on the first or second touch. The safety net in each episode is also very important.

The main disappointment associated with the first match against Vorskla is due to the fact that the opponent outplayed us in the center of the field. Vorskla included a lot of individually skilled players in the middle of the field, which hindered us. Last Sunday, in the match of the Swedish championship with Varnamo (3:2), we played much better. If we can prove ourselves in the same way in the duel with Vorskla, then everything will be fine, ”Swedish media quoted Grzelak as saying.
