Timi Max Elšnik reflected on the just ended game in which Zvezda was defeated by Benfica with a score of 1:2.
- We gave up a little in the first 25 minutes, lost our concentration and focus, and too easily gave them some balls in the danger zone, and they know how to punish that. After that you start running uphill, and you have 0:2 at home. We came out well in the second half, showed that we have quality. They closed in and waited for a counterattack. We created scoring chances, especially from breaks where we were extremely dangerous. I was just waiting for the ball to go into the goal. We can fix many more things and it will be good - began Elšnik.
He spent most of the match in the position of left back.
- I didn't expect to play at left back, but Mimovic got injured and I hope he's fine. These things must not surprise us, because we are professionals. They asked me if I could play at left back, I said I would do my best to help the team. I had a good coach who in theory taught me to play in all positions, but in practice it's a different movement, running. I think I did a good job, but I'm sorry we didn't get a positive result. Of course, I'm better in the middle. I entered the game well, I felt comfortable, but you have to make sacrifices for the team - concluded Elšnik.
