‘We had to make our chances come true in the first game’ – Karaev on Khimki loss

soccer players “SKA-Khabarovsk” had to turn their chances in the first play-off against “Khimki” said after the return match, the striker of the Khabarovsk team David Karaev .

In the second leg, Khimki won 3-0. In the first butt game, the Khabarovsk team celebrated the victory (1-0). Thus, according to the sum of two meetings, Khimki has kept his registration in RPL for next season.

– If we talk about two games, then in the first game we had to convert more chances. As for the second game, not to say that we weren’t in the mood. We went to play to win. I don’t know what was missing, I’m in shock myself. We went there for a year, lived in the Premier League and just couldn’t please the fans. I hope Khabarovsk will achieve their goal and enter the Premier League. What went wrong, I don’t know.

– Did Khimki look like a bigger two-headed team in this game?

“I wouldn’t say they looked two heads stronger. You have to ask yourself the question, we made mistakes with the first, that with the second goal.

– What did it affect? Maybe a long flight?

“You shouldn’t refer to it, the theft has nothing to do with it. You had to go to this game, because it was the last time.

What did they say to each other in the locker room?

– Complete devastation, guys don’t know what to say. Some have expired contracts, some remain. I don’t know what will happen and how.

– Juran left you before moving to Khimki. How did the team react to this?

So much has already been said about this. He followed his path, we followed ours. It was his choice.

Was there a feeling of revenge?

– Not. We have a worthy coach, for whom we fought. And that’s football, you have to treat it with understanding.

How is your support today?

– It’s good that in Moscow they supported us and led us to the last. It’s football, nothing else to say.
