Goalie “Lokomotiv” Marinato Guilherme summarized the results of the first quarterfinal match of the Russian Cup RPL FONBET against “Baltic” .
The match, which took place on Tuesday in Kaliningrad, ended with a score of 2:2.
—Are you surprised there’s no snow?
— No, we looked at the weather forecast. I’m glad the weather allowed us to play football today.
— Have you ever played in a quarry when there was a lot of snow? How big a problem is this for a goalie?
– Yes. Of course, this makes the game much more difficult. Not just for the goalie, but for everyone.
– How did you like the match?
“It’s our fault that the match turned out to be difficult.” Maybe we relaxed. And the opponent came out very prepared for the second half. I can say we gave them the initiative, that’s why the second half proved so difficult.
I think the result is good. We are waiting for the second home game. We have everything to go further.
— You have 13 matches left to reach the 400-match mark for Lokomotiv. Do you follow the statistics?
– 13? Honestly, I thought about a lot more. As long as I can play for this club, it’s a huge motivation for me,” Guilherme said in an interview with the club’s press service.
The teams will play the second leg in Moscow from March 12-14. The winner of the confrontation over the sum of two matches will advance to the semi-finals of the RPL Path, the loser will go to the second stage of the quarter-finals of the Regional Path.
