Jonathan Alba, the head coach of the "Rostov" team, gave an interview to "Match TV" before the match against "Zenit". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He rated the game highly and expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance. Despite the defeat in the game, Alba emphasized that the team performed well.
He stated that it is still the beginning of the season, so it is necessary to analyze mistakes and strive for improvement. He noted that in the second half, the team psychologically slowed down a bit and tried to maintain the 1:0 score, which resulted in the opponent scoring two goals.
According to the coach, it is necessary to improve this situation physically, tactically, and psychologically. Substitutions were not made until the 73rd minute, but the coach considers this to be correct, as the players were physically well-prepared and the tactics were also in place.
Alba reminded that the season is still at its beginning and the transfer window is still open, indicating that new players may arrive, but he emphasized that this issue depends more on the club's management than on the coach. He expressed his satisfaction with coaching the team and noted that many games are ahead.
