“In general, we played a good match. We were preparing the game in such a way as to start with one tactic and finish the other. We played Thursday night, a heavy game, recovered for 24 hours less than opponents. The complex stadium, the sunny day, the field was dry, and they tried to slow down the pace of the game.
In general, we made enough to win. We punched more than 20 times. The only thing we lacked is a goal, but in general I am satisfied with the speech.
When you can’t win, it is important not to lose, take a point and move forward. At this stage of the season, 24 hours can change the situation on recreation and energy, so I am satisfied with the performance. The players gave everything.
We played Thursday night. Not all of our players were 100%. The idea was to start with one tactic and end with another. The plan almost worked because in the last 30 minutes we have created more moments.
It is very clear how strong Brentford and what they try to do, not only at standard positions, but also in attacks after the loss of the ball, but except the last counter -attack we missed, we controlled them well.
If we decided to start the first time as they finished, then, probably in 45 minutes, our team would not be physically prepared enough to complete the game. We tried to find a solution.
After 45 minutes, 1 hour, our team was getting better. We tried to keep the ball to run and after an hour of play they could get tired. We expected improvements in the second half. ”
