Miodrag Bozovic: "If we are hoping for a high place, we have to win such games"
Soon after the final whistle sealed a 0:0 draw between Ufa and Lokomotiv, the Railwaymen's head coach Miodrag Bozovic complained to the post match press conference his men were psychologically exhausted.
- I can't say we played well from first to last minute, - said Bozovic. - During the initial fifteen minutes we failed in using high pressing. Then we managed to improve our play but still it wasn't enough, we had to score. It's our second encounter this month, and it's hard to beat one team twice in such a short time period. All I can say is that we have earned one point today.
- Why was the speed so low? I think everyone's tired of all these breaks for international games. Today the conditions were good: fine weather, perfect turf. But if a team hope for a high place, they have to win. And it's better to win all such games than derbies only.
