Post-match press conference:
Runi Nolsoe: “It was a tough match from the beginning. When we were scored the second goal it turned out decisive. We could have equalized but Hansen could not a good moment. After that “Dinamo” gained control”.
- Was the second goal the reason of losing with such score?
- When the score became 3:1 our football players lost concentration. Besides that, they were tired because it was hot and they are not used to play in such weather. However the main reason of failure was losing of concentration.
- Can we say that “Streymur” finished playing at Champions League?
- We must score 5 goals which is not easy against “Dinamo”. I will be satisfied if we win the next match.
Dusan Uhrin: “The start of the match was tough. Our opponent played quite well. It can be said that the goal of Dvali turned out decisive. When the score was 1:1 we were a bit afraid. I want to win the next match too”.
- How serious is the injury of Irakli Dzaria?
- Dzaria will not be able to play in the next match. Tomorrow we will find out how serious his injury is. He was injured in the match against “Gagra” and it got worsened now. I think Grigalashvili replaced Dvali well today.
- When Dvali left the field, the play of “Dinamo” became more open.
- It is true. We scored 4 goals after that but we did not make a tactic change because Dvali and Vouho are central forwards.
- Will those players who received yellow cards play in the next match?
- It is hard to say who will play in the next match. I do not care who received yellow cards. We have players and we can replace them.
- Did you expect such easy win after the first half?
- I believed that we would win with big score.
