“The first minute passed and he was looking at the bus driver through my eyes,” Urbon said at the news conference. – I wanted to go home because everything was clear. When I met my team, it was the end. There was simply no power.

I think I felt tired. I can’t say our player Bryant Crawford was tired, but he just lost his mind and we didn’t have any players. There was a general passivity and even without a player, this is the end. It’s a shame we didn’t have a bus driver, we would have stopped and driven home. “

“As I always say, it all starts with defense,” said Nenad Chanak. – We were able to stop them well, we pressed the ball and faced the fight for bounced balls. Finally, we rack up points on quick attacks, and when you can take advantage of quick attacks, then the paths open for free kicks. But this is just a 2-1 series. That doesn’t mean anything yet. “
