Speak, Marino Pusic!
"It's actually very simple, because each game has its story. That's the first thing. Each competition has its own energy and objective. It's important for me and the team. We had a draw and a defeat in those games, but we could We could have won both easily if we finished all our attacks and converted all our chances. Sometimes if you don't do that you can draw or lose a match. For me it's all part of the game. The most important part is how we played. And we played very well, especially in the last game, we created a lot of scoring chances. Sometimes we needed a little luck to convert one of the opportunities in time, to change the momentum of the game and win. I'm not satisfied with the result, but I'm quite satisfied with the way we played and what we were able to show. He has worked hard to come back from his injury and has already done several sessions with us. Slowly but surely, he is returning to group training and getting ready to play some time. Artem will be in the squad tomorrow and during the game we will decide whether we need him or not. But I'm really happy that he's coming back. Like I said, we don't take any chances. Football is like that sometimes, you know. I'm happy with the way we played, the opportunities we created – it was very good for our team. We didn't finish our attacks, so we tied. But it was a good draw. We weren't satisfied with the final result, but the way we played, how many chances we created – it was very good. Sometimes you need to convert one of those chances to score even more goals. People talked about a lot of things after this game, but for me the main thing is the way we played. Each game has its own energy, its own characteristic. We always try to find a way to win, but with our own strategy. It's bad when you don't create anything, but we create a lot. We were in a position to do something more than we did forty times. It's also important to me. I praised my team after the game, especially for the way they played, their energy, their discipline. Everything was almost perfect except the score. I agree with you on this.. When the player leaves ten minutes after the start of the match, the situation may seem serious, but according to the initial information, the injury is not that serious. He could return to the team in two or three weeks. We're glad it didn't take long. We also had several other injuries after that game because our players had to endure some serious attacks. But fortunately, except Konoplia, everyone is ready to play in the starting roster tomorrow.”
