— I told the guys after the match that they were afraid of the result. They threw the ball forward several times, but it was a loss of the ball, not a rest. You rest when you have the ball. The same thing happened in the match with Rostov, when we were also scared. It annoys me. You have to do a quick draw to the center, you have to play football. As a result, Zenit scored in the 90+5th minute. Mistakes like this happen.
– What did you like?
— We had possession of the ball more than 45% of the time, which is good with a team like Zenit. But I want to see the aggressiveness of the team in the last 20-30 meters of the field. I want to see hungry players win. We were supposed to score the third goal at the end, but the football god said: if you don’t want to score the third, put the second in your own net,” reports the correspondent in Lichka’s words.
Orenburg scored 40 points and sits eighth in the WORLD RPL rankings.
