Mirko Jelicic: It’s also nice to have teams that don’t lie down on defense and think about attacking

Our team’s head coach Mirko Jelicic’s thoughts after the match against OKMK.

– It was a good game. Both teams were open and tried to play until the end. It’s also nice to have teams that don’t lie down on defense and think about attacking. It’s also unpleasant to concede two goals after set pieces. However, we deserved another goal with this game, but today it didn’t happen.

– Today, Lokomotiv played with three central defenders. However, the goals were conceded after set pieces. We see Anzur Ismoilov, Alexander Shushnyar and Oleksandar Kucherenko, who are tall and good defenders. But what is the reason for these goals? A tight schedule or negligence?

– It’s difficult to work according to set pieces. Everything is decided by micro-situations. The ball arrives in a third of a second and it is difficult to make a quick decision. OKMK, on the other hand, are making good passes from the standards and they have been doing this for a long time. And we… We also have to eliminate situations. We have 4-5 tall players in our squad. Even if you make 100 of these passes, they can return them, but today the goals were scored. It is a pity that we conceded such goals. We will analyze and see what needs to be changed.
