Alexander Zayakin: " It's always nice to play with such teams, but you need concentration"

— It was necessary to keep the team in good shape throughout the match. "Chertanovo" is a good opponent, thank them very much for the resistance. The girls know how to play football, the club develops them, a lot of respect to him for that. It's always nice to play with such teams, so the concentration on the game was maximum.

Thanks to the team that fulfills our requirements. I didn't like the second half a bit. We missed the standard again, the third game in a row. We train these standards ourselves in defense, unfortunately, either anthropometry or lack of concentration do not allow us to play reliably in these moments.

The previous match was played four days ago, we had a shortened microcycle this week, so there was not enough freshness, it was physically difficult. Nevertheless, the girls are great. We had a perfect first half, although there were some minor problems in pressing, we didn't exert the pressure that we planned. During the break, this moment was corrected, they began to act better.

I don't know what happened to the team, especially after conceding a goal. They lowered their eyes and hands down, which in no case can never be done, but we need to play on, continue our game. We tried to play arrhythmically, go to the middle block, breathe somewhere. In general, we will sort out the second half, talk to the team. But in general, they are well done.

Even though there were three substitutions at the end of the meeting, the team controlled the game.

I would like to thank the fans separately. Although the match was held without spectators, but they could be heard. We arrived, shouted through the wall, many thanks to them for their support! It was very pleasant and unexpected.
