Igor Cherevchenko: In football you cannot get away with mistakes

Lokomotiv’s head coach Igor Cherevchenko shared his views of the match played against Tom in Gameweek 2 of the ROSGOSSTRAKH Russian Premier League.

- How would you comment on what happened in the second half?

- In soccer you cannot get away with mistakes. We squandered many chances. Besides, the team felt relaxed, thinking the game turned out easy for them. I warned them that being up 2:0 could be a treacherous thing. And the blow came.

- Why were Tarasov and Corluka dropped from the first eleven?

- Both have micro injuries. There are 28 Gameweeks ahead - we cannot put players at risk for the sake of one single match. It would be too wasteful.

- Why did Kasaev ask to be subbed off?

- Doctors are still looking into it – we don’t know the whole picture yet.
