Yuriy Syomin: We lost the beginning of the second half, and the game

Lokomotiv head coach Yuriy Syomin has summarized the game against Krasnodar (1:2) of Gameweek 19 of the Russian Premier League.

- We lost the beginning of the second half, and the game. We still lack stability in our performance. Now we need to take a look at the statistics and scrutinize the match, analyze the mistakes. We were well-prepared physically, we put pressure on the opponents. We made many attempts but lost concentration and Krasnodar capitalized on it.

- What did your argument with Corluka refer to?

- There was no argument in the first place. Just a routine episode. We talked about Wanderson, and that central defenders had to mark him during Krasnodar's offensives.

- What's your take on Pejcinovic's actions in the episode that led to a second goal?

- I cannot comment on it now. I have to watch the replay.

- How did you like Maicon?

- A player in this position has to score goals. Marques kept the defenders nervous but lacked clinical touch.

- Why didn't you employ another attacker in the end of the game, like Galadzhan?

- In the end we started playing long crosses so we needed tall players, that's why Corluka went ahead. And he played well.

- When will we see Farfan?

- It's hard to tell yet. he had sustained an injury. It's possible we'll see him in the derby against Spartak.
