– We are not a hundred percent satisfied with the content of the game. In general, it looked solidly but was cut, when we have ceased to hold the ball, we have to do is not forced losses. It was necessary to enter into the selection, but it is very energy consuming. We spent a lot of energy to it. I believe that we had to decide the fate of the match in the first half.

– Does the your game plan to score a quick goal?

– The plan for the players was that we were asked to squeeze the most of all the episodes. A bet on a quick goal was, but that does not mean that everything has passed today in our scenario. Everything is very well developed, and we are certainly pleased with this. At the moment the second goal played a major role individual skill Fedor Chalova which finalized the episode until the end.

– What scenes in the game were the key?

– a key segment of the game was scored after the first, when we had two or three chances to score. And at some point, we lost the thread of the game. Kudos to the guys that we did not give the initiative to the end of North Korea, although the episode was when they had the opportunity to score. But we very quickly got back into the game. It was very nice. Well done guys! Congratulations on the victory of the whole team, the whole delegation. Moving on! No no euphoria. Already thinking about the next game with Costa Rica.

– The primary task – the right to recover, to approach the game in the correct functional state. Now attention will have medical staff to the guys. Also important is the psychology: in any case it is impossible to think that something is decided. All will be decided until the last round. Next match – the most important.
