Alexey Shpilevskiy, head coach of the "Pari NN" team, shared his thoughts in an interview with "Match TV" after the match against Rostov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that it is incorrect to call the game held in Saransk a return leg, as these are two different competitions. Shpilevskiy considered his team's victory deserved and stated that opportunities should have been fully utilized in the first half of the game.
This would have prevented excessive nervousness in the team. In the second half, he noted that the players who came on from the bench added new energy and aggressiveness to the game.
According to the coach, the chances were equal during the first 70 minutes of the match, but the opposing team did not create any truly dangerous situations in front of their goal. He stressed the need to reward his team's hard work and to maintain focus in the final part of the game.
Shpilevskiy congratulated the players, saying that the team's recent results have been worthy. Speaking about this victory style, the coach highlighted that the team has changed significantly compared to last year.
He mentioned that the team has improved as a result of working together for 6-8 weeks, and although the players make mistakes, they strive to work on themselves. For Shpilevskiy, the most important thing is the players' high enthusiasm and desire to take action.
