The right-back of the White-Blues Eli Dasa commented on the first game of the season with Krasnodar and spoke about the physical state of the team.
— Can you say that Krasnodar were more lucky today?
— The opponent capitalised on his chances and won. We played well in some fragments of the match. Now we need to improve our play and correct some aspects.
— Did the team feel any fatigue after very intense training camps?
— No, I think that training camps were useful for us. We did a good job to be fully fit. Of course, at the start of the season it takes some time to catch the necessary rhythm. I am sure that we will be stronger with each match.
— What did the head coach say in the dressing room?
— He said that the opponent was able to benefit from our mistakes, but this is only the first game of the season. We need to prepare well for the next encounter and play the way we should.
— The next match will be held in 4 days. What is better at the start of the season — to play more often, or to train in the usual weekly cycle?
— Footballers like to play more than to train, so it's great that during the season Cup matches on the midweek will alternate with RPL games on weekends. We want to get the best result in both tournaments.
