Guilherme: The opponents won thanks to crosses
Lokomotiv goalkeeper Marinato Guilherme has summarized the Europa League round of 32 game against Fenerbahce (0:2).
- We are used to playing defence-mindedly and could not provide the necessary result due to the lack of counter-attacks. Fenerbahce kept crossing to our penalty area and this helped them score both goals. I think we have an opportunity to win in Moscow with even a bigger score, maybe.
- Your saves helped secure the score that leaves us chances for advancing to the round of 16. Do you think you're the hero of the game?
- The hero? No, but I tried!
- Was it hard to switch from friendlies to a 50,000-seats arena?
- Of course. Mid-season friendlies and official games, and especially the Europa League games, are so much different. But on the other hand we had time to work on our fitness.
– Did you feel the pressure from the stands?
- It's a great pleasure to play before the packed stadium. Unfortunately, you don't see this in Russia very often.
