Azerbaijan vs Ukraine: Coaches’ views

Jose Alesio Da Silva (Azerbaijan): “I pointed out my players the mistakes we made during yesterday's game during a video review this morning. Of course, we tried not to repeat those mistakes. As a result, we played better in the first half than yesterday. In the second half, we ran out of energy. It was as if the brain could no longer perform the tasks assigned to it. . As a result, mistakes increased, became more common, and players preferred individual play. However, we had to perform the tasks collectively. As the number of mistakes increased, the opponent used it to the maximum. This led to a violation of game discipline.”
 
Oleksandr Kosenko (Ukraine):  “The game went well for us. We fought. We spent part of the match with five players. This was also a tactical task. Of course, it was a friendly match. According to this game, one team can not be called lucky and the other weak for the UEFA Futsal EURO finals. Both sides tried to identify their mistakes and weaknesses. The strength of sparring rivals is also useful in this regard. Everyone has a chance in the final stage. Tasks for UEFA Futsal EURO will be different. Although we won both games, I cannot say that my team is ready. Because the approach to friendly matches is different, and sometimes the results obtained in these matches are deceptive.”
