Focus on tactics

- Mark, you appeared as a sub in the second half. What do you make of your performance?

- I wanted to prove myself in a better way, but it was quite hard after a long break.

- Did you feel the lack of cohesion with your teammates?

- Both the first team and the reserve one use the same playing model, so everything was fine.

- What instructions did Luis Castro give you before the match?

- The coach focussed on tactical nuances, explaining how to operate in set play.

- Please comment on the spot-kick against you.

- The penalty was awarded fairly. I had a great desire to win the ball, but I hurried and caused the Mariupol player fall.

- Did your teammates scold you for that moment after the match?

- No, they just suggested that I had to take my time, that the Mariupol player was standing with his back to our goal, and that I just needed to press him out of the penalty area.
