Leonid Kuchuk: "There's one more game ahead, we will play"
As Lokomotiv conceded to Rostov, the Railwaymen's manager Leonid Kuchuk told a post-match press-conference his team will fight till the end.
- Today Lokomotiv demonstrated nothing up front.
- You are right, we failed the stress-test. We knew our opponents failed, and couldn't deal with excitement.
- What is the goal now?
- How do you think? The highest. I want to comment on the game: Rostov played tight and tackled much, breaking almost all our passes ahead. That's why the chances were few.
- You suffered a defeat in a key game of the season. Can you call it a professional loss?
- You know, we've been among the leaders of the Russian football throughout the season and this is our success. But you cannot succeed every time. I am grateful to the team for their self-sacrifice during the season. We're under great pressure but probably due to our presence on the top is the championship so interesting. And we will fight till the end.
- How are you going to tune your team after this annoying loss?
- Any loss is annoying but you have to take it right. Analyze, correct mistakes and bring innovations. Without it, there's no football. There's still one more game ahead, we will play.
