Galčík) Peter Struhár, coach Ružomberok: “The team to the match entered quite well, but then we made two individual mistakes, which we pointed out to our boys. We stressed to them that Žilina has fast footballers and will try to play “at the center”, for the defense, which was confirmed. We were not strong enough consistent in securing. Thus the visitors took the lead. We wanted to do something with the result, there was a good opportunity after the rehearsed signal, but we missed the goal, we kicked. The opponent was effective, mainly punishing our mistakes. We lacked rebounds, no all the players coped with combativeness. We wanted to create respect, because we played on own playground. In the second half, we tried to score a contact goal, but Žilina didn’t let us have any chances. They closed the extreme verticals, which made it difficult for us to turn the center of gravity of the game.” Jaroslav Hynek, Žilina: “We traveled to the hot ground of Ružomberok after two unsuccessful matches, but the last performance in ten against Podbrezová was of high quality. I would like to praise the boys for how they handled the fighting moments. It wasn’t completely without mistakes, but I think we prepared very well for our opponent. Defensively, we are a little bit of a problem in the central zone, especially in the first half, when we didn’t manage to solve all the things as we wanted. We played the first half as efficiently as possible, to our complete satisfaction. It would be good if the guys took advantage of a break in the second half that would bring an important third goal. We didn’t shoot him, but I have to praise the boys for how they finished the match.” Author: © Zoznam Source: TASR
