The head coach of the "Orenburg" team, Vladimir Slishkovich, shared his thoughts with "Match TV" ahead of the match against "Rubin." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
- This season, you will play on natural grass for the first time. Will this situation not be a problem for "Orenburg"?
- I don't think so. The reason is that I don't see any problems here.
- So, it is not correct to accept "Orenburg" as a team that plays on artificial turf. Everything will be fine on natural grass, right?
- How many points did we collect in home games last year? This situation will not change.
In football, the field, the ball, or the boots are not the reasons. Those who know how to play will play.
If they don't, the result will be accordingly. - Two months ago, in this stadium, in the 30th round, you had already been relegated from the league.
If we compare that team and the current one, which is stronger? - There are still many questions in our team.
Personally, this game is very important to me because it gives less experienced players a chance. This is important for them and for us.
The more players play, the better prepared they will be for the championship. It is not correct to compare the current team with the team from that time or with "Rubin."
Now it is the cup matches, while back then it was the championship. Therefore, comparison is difficult.
- Considering that "Orenburg" does not have a very large squad, is it not difficult to participate in both the championship and the cup at the same time? - No, we have enough players.
I cannot speak about difficulties. I have said several times that I really like this cup format.
It creates additional opportunities for players to showcase themselves and identify those who can be trusted in the championship.
