David Holoubek (head coach of MFK Ružomberok): „I think Sereď was very good from tactical point of view in the first half time. It was very complicated for us to go through their defensive block. We couldn´t do it. Fortunately, we made a chance from which Kostadinov scored. In the defensive block, it was very hard for us tosucceed. Against such a deep, well-made, defensive block Barcelona can play, but we certainly can´t . Although in the first half time the ball was optically in our possession more often, I do not remember that we had a chance. We had some standard situations, but we were not satisfied. We assumed that the coach would make some changes to the lineup and that they would definitely be more active. Although we assumed it, paradoxically we suddenly stopped playing. The opponent started to win second balls, which is always very important. I think the second half time was not good at all. We allowed two - three goal opportunities, but there are alsosuch matches. I am very glad that we have managed to get it and got three points. It was a tough match for us. With Sereď it is always match by one goal. I remember my first match here. We played 0:0 with Sereď. It is really a very tough opponent for us and I am glad we did it even if it was only 1:0 and not very good performance.“
