The head coach of Steel Yeghishe Melikyan commented on the defeat of his team from Mariupol (0: 1).

- Congratulations to the Mariupol team. She won us not by chance. The opponent achieved a positive result, and we lost because of one episode. Temporarily lost concentration, played inattentively, and this episode decided the fate of the whole match.

A lot of what was planned for us today turned out. Of course, we wanted to beat Mariupol, but we were not in a hurry. In the first half, they focused on defense, and after the break planned to release fresh players who would strengthen our game. Were willing to show fast and dynamic football. It seems like a lot happened, but in addition to the team game there are individual moments and qualities. It was not possible to realize those moments that the result could have produced.

I understand that this is the sixth defeat in a row, it's hard, but the result will not be achieved quickly. The series hits the psychology of football players, but to solve this issue there is me. I hope I can find a way out, because I answer for the result, and the players do everything they can. They fulfill the game plan, work with good dedication. Claims to them are not present. If anyone should be criticized, it's me. The result should be given by the head coach. We draw conclusions and will continue to work.

- Today, your team looked pretty good, for which it is necessary to praise the players?.

- Again: for the dedication and spirit of the winners, which they showed until the last second. They do not give up, although we suffered a sixth defeat. They do not lose courage and want to win. This is an important moment. A team with such a psychology will sooner or later give a result. It just takes time.. I do not see any insoluble problems, but the way out is to find the head coach.

- In the first half, Steel played non-standard corner, but they did not bring dividends. This is a homework, but so far an unsuccessful experiment?.

- I'll explain why we decided so. We have two kinds of drawing of standards. When analyzing the opponent drew attention to the fact that "Mariupol" uses personal care one to one. With such a security system, the standards were located so that it was difficult for opponents to find their player, so that the personal game did not turn out. Then there is a change of positions, crossing. I hoped that one or two players would lose their guardianship. However, somewhere not so filed, somewhere it did not come off. Not every standard can become a goal. All the guys from the point of view of tactics did the right thing, but did not have the realization.

- Steel today, unlike Mariupol, did not have the support of viewers. Did it bother your players?.

- Who today came to football, one can be congratulated with a good game. They, I think, enjoyed spectacular and interesting football. Who is sick for us, and there are many of them, it's just that not everyone has the opportunity to attend matches, they always wish us a good game. There are also those who wish us only defeats, but this is normal. I have enough strength to set up the team and psychologically support the players. Who wants to be with us - please, we will be only happy. The more fans there are, the more pleasant it will be for players and coaches.

- How do you debut Obradovic?.

- He can play better. This is the first game and it was difficult to immediately show all its possibilities. He has good individual skills, technique, football intelligence and experience. It takes time for adaptation, because in our team many play together more than one year. Steel demonstrates combinational football, and for this you need mutual understanding. In such a system, a new player is not easy. I think this useful player will help us in the future..
