- The match turned out to be productive. You must be satisfied with the attack, but what about the defence?
- We are satisfied with the game as a whole, because we did well both in attack and defence. But we didn't convert some chances in attack, so there was some uncertainty. We conceded two goals because we did not have time to cover the opponent in these episodes.
- The opponent managed to score the second goal while playing in the minority. Did it come as a surprise to you?
- As I said, in the second we created chances but didn't convert them. Everyone ran to attack and, as they say, got caught.
- After three wins in a row, is the mood in the team better?
- For us, every match is like a final, we need to win and move from match to match.
- Did the fact that thematch against Minaj was postponed affect your preparation for today's game in any way? Or is it better that you had more rest?
- It would have been better to play, we didn't rest, we were travelling by train for two days. We can say that we got out of the training process somewhere, because at first we missed the pre-game training, because we did not train fully because of the snow, because the lesson was on an artificial field. And during the game we played only a minute... So the training process was disrupted.
- The final match of the season is on Monday. Is there not much time to prepare?
- I think the head coach knows how to prepare the team, and each player knows how to recover and prepare for the game.
