— Alan, tell me what went wrong today?
— Today everything started as it should! They got used to it, understood what was what and tried to impose their game. Indeed, at the beginning everything went according to plan. But it is worth noting that our today’s opponent is always and for everyone uncomfortable at home.
— In your opinion, was the sending off a key episode in the match, or is it not just that?
— Removal at the beginning of the game is always a key event in any league, in any match, with any opponent! Of course, Sos had already removed his foot when approaching his opponent in this episode, but the judge was harsh, alas. I think if we had endured the first half without conceding, we would have taken the points. But this, as they say, is history…
— Can we say that in this game we were particularly unlucky in many episodes?
— No, I wouldn’t say that I was unlucky. This is why they love football, because no one ever knows what will happen in a minute or two. But today really wasn’t our day. We are on the right track, but slightly stuck in a traffic jam… And this is only our responsibility — the players who take part in the match. Football players are responsible for the result, since it is we who take the field against the opponent!
— How to cope with such defeats psychologically?
— I think that in a tournament where psychological indicators were assessed, we would be in first place, either in the FNL or in the RPL. What else to say? Why should we forget this game and move on?! No. I think everyone perceives our every defeat as a robbery from an apartment of three points. A little patience is required! Everything planned by our coaches will definitely come true. This time, unfortunately, everything went a little wrong. Thank you all for your support!
