After the completion of the first matches of the Russian clubs in the play-off round of the Europa League, in which the “Krasnodar” “with a minimum score yielded to the Spanish” Real Sociedad “,” Locomotive “tied with Cyprus” Apollo “and” Rostov “lost Turkey” Trabzonspor “, shared their impressions chief coach of the team.

The head coach of” Krasnodar “Oleg Kononov after the match with the” Real Sociedad “lamented the fact that the judge made a mistake, not a legal goal of the Russian team in the first half. According to the arbitrator, the ball was scored from an offside position, although on replay shows that Ari at the time of pass is in the correct position.

– Yesterday I mentioned that the game would be difficult. “Real Sociedad” controlled the ball more than we do, but by the moments was equality. We scored a clean goal, which the referee did not count. And another great time to score missed Zhoazino. I think we were witty points than the opponent. But in general, the game was equal. Alas, there was a judicial error.

Also Oleg Kononov rated game of the Spanish team, noting that his team is well cope with the opponent’s attacks.

– «Real Sociedad” very powerful started the match, played a quick pass. “Real” know how good the Spanish team is able to play the pass. But we came out well in attack and created several scoring chances. Plus the episode with nezaschitannym goal. Yes, the control was for the “Sociedad” in the first half, but the dangerous moments in Spanish was a bit. After three days we play the match Championship of Russia, and this game will know the composition of the return match with the “Real Sociedad”, – quotes Kononov “Sport-Express».

Also, the arbitrator’s decision said the president “Krasnodar” Sergey Galitsky, regretting his mistake.

«Error judge, very sorry – Galitsky wrote on Twitter. – “Real Sociedad” very fast, good team, but do not put a penalty and did not deduct net goal – it’s too much for one game. But the first half hour of the Spaniards very quickly and with almost no loss controlled the ball, a very good team ».

In turn, the head coach of the” Real Sociedad “Hagoba Arrasate said he would like to succeed with a larger account, but also noted that he was not sure that the judge erred when not included a goal “Krasnodar».

– Yes, I would like to score more than one goal, and that was a distinct possibility. But the main thing – we tried to show good will and ultimately achieved victory. There is an opinion that was nezaschitanny goal and that was unassigned from the penalty spot in our direction. But I’m not so sure. The first 30 minutes were great. They were to be crowned with a goal. But the main thing – the fact that we took the initiative and played relaxed and score a goal – it is the most difficult. It worked, but later – quoted Arrasate “Sport-Express».

Besides Hagoba Arrasate admitted that “Krasnodar” is a worthy contender in the second leg of the “Real Sociedad” to be a serious confrontation.

– Now we have to finish the job. We saw that we did a serious contender who can attack. I think in the next game they will play a much more open. In his field “Krasnodar” will attack and we will strive to score. The upcoming match will be very attractive.

With what feeling will go to Russia? With the feeling that it is necessary to defend the advantage in the match against a strong opponent. We need to Krasnodar play hard and show good results. On the quality of play in Krasnodar at least no worse than getting in San Sebastian.

After losing the “Rostov” Turkish “Trabzonspor” with a score of 0 2, the head coach of the Russian team Miodrag Bozovic expressed the opinion that in the last game his team could not realize the good points, but in the second leg have the opportunity to win.

– The game was equal, we had things that we could not realize. The home team also took advantage of their chances. Today we could qualify for more. I think that in Rostov-on-Don, we can win. Thought that we would have to push the platform but it’s too few people. We lost because of our mistakes – quoted Bozovic “Soviet Sport».

The head coach of the Turkish “Trabzonspor” Wahid Halilhodzhicha admitted that the last game was very hard, because “growth” is much more experienced, and his team is preparing for the fact that the second leg will be the same.

– Very tough game . We worked for 40 days, and came to us the result. 2: 0 – a very good result for such a game. But we are still waiting for a very difficult game in Rostov. 15 minutes were good, and the others – equal. But we showed great spirit and wanted to score in every attack. This is what I expect from komandy.Zaschita played well, but not particularly want to mention the goalkeeper Onur, which saved us a few moments and provided a good account of the return match. Our team still lacks experience. Russian experienced as a team and thus can take. We have to work hard in Rostov – quoted trainer “Sport-Express».

– It will take six or seven games, we scored the optimal shape. In the game, “Rostov” helped us to desire, the morale, the conscientious performance of all tasks. We had some good opportunities, but the opponent was one or two sharp point. I told my players that they showed on the field, and the spirit of the soldiers, we launched a series of victories – quoted Halihodzhicha Turkish edition Posta.

Moscow “Locomotive” tied with Cyprus “Apollo”, the team scored one ball, while in the second half, “railroad” had to play with nine men after removal Tigoreva and Denisov. Head coach of “Lokomotiv” Leonid Kucuk said that in this part of his team played for the first time, and also noted that the outcome of the match gave him.

– In the second half for the first time in my life My team was left with nine men. Player was a huge advantage and was able to use it. But I’m happy that we scored. Goal at a party is often a crucial and well worth it.

– What happened in the end of the second half? Your team just tired or you underestimated the opponent?
– No, we knew the power of “Apollo.” Last year, the Cypriots in qualifying knocked out “Nice”, the game looked decent in the group stage of the Europa League. This is a strong team, so there was no underestimating the opponent. We play the fourth match on a tight schedule and have to vary the composition. Partly why the match turned out for us uneasy.

– How much impact on the removal of the game?
– Any removal affects the course of the match and the game in general. Made their adjustments and forced replacement when just two players were not able to continue the meeting: Alan Kasai and Dmitri Tarasov. This, of course, played a major role. If we talk about the red card, then after the first we started to play deeper to the penalty area, and when you come out of defense received a lot of counter-attacks.
