As we reported, he fought a two-goal advantage mainly due to his great play in the first half. Ferencváros a Zalgiris in the first act of the Champions League qualifiers against. After the blowout, the head coach of the greens and whites, Peter Stöger so he evaluated what he saw.
– We won 2-0, which is very positive, but I think we didn’t focus enough on the finishes, and here I am thinking not only of the missed 11, but also of many of our other situations. The Austrian specialist began his statement to M4 Sport. – We have a few goals left in us, but as a coach the first step is to basically create these situations, it goes well, the rest will be brought by time. We controlled our defenses properly, we concentrated well in the back. Our protection is getting better and better, we have been working together for six or seven weeks, we are constantly evolving. Obviously we want to keep the good stuff from the previous season and continue to improve. Unfortunately with this 2-0 we didn’t manage to completely end the duel, we were left with a little bit of anything that could happen in the next match, but as I mentioned before the meeting, we are the better team and we have to play away in this spirit as well.
After television, Peter Stöger also spoke at the press conference about what he had asked his players during the break for the second half.
– I was basically talking to the boys about the further concentration and how we should control the game with this two-goal advantage and how we could score a 3rd and 4th goal that was absolutely in the match. I was happy with the defense, maybe the opponent had 2-3 more dangerous point kicks. We did a lot of things well, but there is always room for improvement. We want to implement the game in order to create as many situations as possible, we are doing well on this path, even if it may sometimes be a danger to the opponent’s counterattacks. In the first half, our passes worked properly, and the wings were also positioned as requested. Ryan Mmaee is an excellent striker, I’m glad he was integrated into the team so quickly, which is also due to his hard work and he plays very usefully even when he doesn’t score. Stöger said, then said a few words about next week’s rematch. – I probably need to replace a lot of players to stand out with a fresh team on the rematch, and we also need to prepare for the artificial turf pitch.
Regarding Uzuni’s missed 11, he remarked that turning these situations into a goal is not as easy as one would think, but of course the result would have been nicer if he had gone in. As for the strong-opinion situation of the goalkeeper and Boli, he didn’t see exactly if there was an irregularity, he couldn’t comment on it, but he’s glad Boli got in well, he also had two situations, he’s sorry he couldn’t score a goal. Finally, Stöger also addressed the question of how important it is for him to have more Hungarian players in the starting team.
– This question comes up almost every week. My goal is to put out the most suitable team against each opponent, if there are as many Hungarian players as possible, we are happy about that, but if we win and the goalkeeper is the Hungarian, we are also happy about it. I know that it is also very important for the club to achieve results from week to week, we work in this spirit Stöger closed the press conference.
The rematch will be held next Tuesday at 7 pm at the LFF Stadium in Vilnius.
