"I play football to score goals and help others in my team to score them. That's why I feel satisfied after the match against Sporting. I am very satisfied with my goal in this game.
We could have won this match, but in the first half we did not play the way we wanted. Our opponents scored a goal after the first standard position. In this situation we should have behaved very differently. We went into the second half with a firm intention to win the match or at least score a goal. We managed to do the second, but after the match we feel dissatisfied and disappointed.
Rakuva's numerical advantage from the 8th minute of the match? We did not take full advantage of this situation, because we scored only one goal. However, it is not easy to play against 10 opponents of this level. Sporting have not only one striker in the attack, but sometimes the whole defence is involved. At the same time, the scored goal encouraged our opponents. We needed to play the ball faster, and we did not do it for a long time.
In each of the remaining matches of the group stage we will play with maximum effort to show that we did not get into this tournament by chance. We can still qualify from the third place in the Conference League play-offs and we will do everything to make it happen," Kochergin told Gol24.
