" During the match with Nimechchina, we hoped for more, but were unable to show anything, because our opponent was too strong. We easily allowed them to score two or three goals. Rakhunok 1:4 would have been more fair, but beyond the ranks, Nimechina significantly turned us around"

Also, Lawyer Rozpov, why they reacted emotionally to the match, regardless of the great fear of their opponent’s pity.

\? Just before the people of Curacao felt joy again. Possibly, this is often connected with the age - there are emotions that I can’t easily stream, although I myself don’t really deserve it. Ale so boo. Verdict 1:7 our people were happy, and that means a lot to us,” said the coach.
