The head coach of the white-blue youth team talks about the away defeat in the match against the WFC Master-Saturn (0:2).
— We played well in the first half. The game was going well in the second half, but there were individual mistakes in attacking actions. We created dangerous moments, everything was according to the plan that we prepared for the game. And it basically worked. In some places, individual skill did not allow us to realize the moments. Well, and two missed goals... The second, you could say, was scored against us "on the whistle".
The goalkeeper's actions were not very successful, but this happens, we will not blame anyone, Masha played well in many episodes. But when we missed the first goal, we had four people in defense against one opponent, and the girls could not decide who would meet him, block.
— How difficult is it psychologically to restore the team after such matches?
— It is very difficult for me in this regard, because we have accumulated a lot of such matches: when we play quite well, creatively, combinations are going, the game plan works, but individual mistakes lead us to such defeats. These are not the kind of defeats where we were steamrolled, we just make unnecessary mistakes.
