Syomin: Our offensives were useless
Lokomotiv head coach Yuriy Syomin comments on the game against Amkar (0:1) in Gameweek 10 of the ROSGOSSTRAKH Russian Championship.
- When we conceded the early opener it seemed there was plenty of time to levelbut our offensives lacked quality although the attackers were plenty. Our offensives were useless. We played on their half of the pitch but lost 0:1. An unlucky game.
- Why did you substitute Denisov in halftime?
- We had to make changes. Attacks from the flanks kept failing despite they were manned by Farfan and Denisov. We thought Rybus would pose more danger.
- What do you think about the refereeing?
- It was the same like in our previous game against Amkar. How could the ref miss a 100% foul at Eder? Anyway, we have lost. Nothing can be changed now.
- Eder lost all aerial duels.
- Amkar have three tall central defenders. They would win all aerial battles whoever played against them.
- In second halves, Lokomotiv always play better. Is it because you change tactics in halftime?
- We changed tactics in some games, and din't do it in others. I see no connection here.
