Leonid Slutskiy: A match of missed opportunities
— We couldn't take advantage of the work we did. We shouldn't had conceded so quickly after our first goal, should had scored a penalty when the score was 1:1 and build on that result. It was a match of missed opportunities. We had several chances to take the game under control and play the way we like to play. Unfortunately, we weren't good enough defensively.
— How do you rate Wernbloom's performance? It wasn't his best day.
— We had a massive gaps between the lines, but shouldn't blame only defensive midfielders. We didn't have enough consistency and we didn't put enough pressure on the opponents. We gave too much space to Sparta.
— We couldn't avoid asking you a question about the national team...
— I'm not going to speak on this topic.
— Why Natcho failed with his penalty today?
— Sometimes these things happen. He had a long successive run of penalty kicks prior to this game. I'm sure that this series will resume.
