Leonid Kuchuk: "We have to forget this game and move on"
Loko's head coach Leonid Kuchuk told the reporters in a press-conference that followed the victory over Rostov (5:0) that he managed to convey his ideas to the players in the half-time. Also, the coach said how he liked the performance of the club's new signings.
- The first half was hard, we wanted to score an early goal, - said Kuchuk. – We needed to get ahead of the opponents, but Rostov's defence worked well. It's good that Caicedo used his second chance and scored a last-minute goal. During the break I told the guys to calm down and explained what to do next. We started attacking, and managed to score. When another Rostov's player was sent off, both teams understood the game was done. Anyway we have to forget this game now and move on.
Talking about the newcomers, Boussoufa demonstrated his high level in the first trainings, he "feels" his partners very well. Diarra had an injury and dropped out for two weeks so we decided to hold him back for a while. But during his time on the pitch he demonstrated a 100% ball possession. I want to thank the president of the club and the Selection Department for buying these players.
