We bring to your attention the opinions expressed by the head coaches of both teams after the match between Azerbaijan and Slovakia, which took place today at the Baku Sports Palace:
Marian Berky (Head coach of the national team of Slovakia): "It was a difficult game for our team. In the first part, everything went well. However, in the second half I was dissatisfied with the referee's management and as a result we could not change the course of the game. Or rather, we had a real chance to do it, we created episodes, but unfortunately we could not realize them. Towards the end, we preferred 5 field players, which allowed the opponent to increase the score.”
Jose Alesio Da Silva (Head coach of the national team of Azerbaijan): "The opponent was well prepared against us. Also, given that we have met often in recent years, I can say that we know each other well. Our main problem was our inability to realize the goal episodes we created. Even during trainings and pre-match instructions, I told my futsal players to pay attention to this. But I must admit that we could not cope with it again.
We started the game well and created a series of episodes in the first half, but unfortunately we could not carry this advantage to the score. Yes, we had little time to prepare, we had physical and tactical problems. The beginning of the second part was very difficult. However, our second goal opened the opponent's game plan. We also correctly assessed the gaps created."
