Aliaksei BAHA (FC BATE Head Coach):
- How surprised are you when your
opponent played after a forced break during the second half?
-
A pause caused by the behavior of home team supporters benefited FK
Sarajevo, which scored plus had another moment. But in general, I'll
appreciate this match positively for us: we won on the away match
over strong team, scored twice. The guys made a good job.
- I believe that FK Sarajevo looked
better today than FC BATE.
- The most beautiful thing in
football is the numbers on the scoreboard. We won 2-1 and go home
with a victory.
- So you don't agree that you
were lucky?
- In European Club Competitions, the main thing is
the result. And we got it.
- Please share your impressions
about the atmosphere of the match.
- Two good lighters from
the stands flew to me - I'll pick up it for souvenirs. And
generally the atmosphere was fantastic, chic - I really liked it.
- Do you think that today FC BATE
reached the result primarily due to its rich European Club
Competitions experience? And do not you think that FK Sarajevo was
scared after two goals, and in the end of the game you allowed
yourself to underestimate the opponent?
- I can't give an
assessment of the playing made by Bosnian club - this should be
done by their coach. And the fact that in such difficult
confrontations we score and win is indeed the result of having a lot
of experience.
- Do you think that the referees
treated both teams in the same way?
- I would not like to
evaluate the work of the referees. They have their own committee,
which analyzes the actions and decisions taken during the match. How
they did their work - so did. We cannot influence on this.
- Will you change something
dramatically in your game in the second leg match, since in certain
situations FC BATE did not have full control in Zenica? Do you plan
to play at home in closing manner and defend?
- We'll start
thinking about the plan for the second leg match later - before
that, on 11th August, we will hold the domestic championship game. We
need to make an analysis of today's game, look at the conditions of
the guys. But now it's clear: there will be a difficult fight at
the Borisov-Arena, because FK Sarajevo is a good team.
