“Krasnodar” team head coach Murad Musayev shared his thoughts on the match against “Dinamo” after the game. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
It was extremely important for our team to secure this significant victory. After the last two defeats, the whole team was upset and disappointed, even though our performance wasn’t bad.
We had many opportunities, but we lacked precision in sending the ball to the goal. We were missing a bit of courage and determination.
Even when the game is going well, we need to stay focused and put in even more effort. That’s exactly how it was in today’s match.
The first half was almost evenly matched. In the second half, however, the advantage was completely on our side; we pushed the opponent back into their penalty area, and as a result of many set pieces and pressure, we scored a goal.
This victory once again demonstrated the character of our team and was very important today. While preparing for the match against “Dinamo,” we knew they would strive to control the ball more.
However, some losses in their squad, particularly the absence of players like Bitello and Osipenko, affected their game. They were crucial players for controlling the game on the field.
Today's goal was definitely very important for Kordoba. This is true not only for the coach but for every individual as well.
He always strives for victory; even if he can’t score in training, he stays on the field and continues to try. He always wants to score.
He played for 45 minutes in the cup match, and the next day he expressed a desire to train again with the whole team. He had to be substituted.
That’s why this goal was very important for him. Unfortunately, Perren’s absence from the squad is related to an injury in his thigh muscles.
In my opinion, we won’t be able to see him on the field for several weeks. It’s not a serious problem, but it requires time for a full recovery.
