Defeat to Egnatia, Gvozdenovic disappointed: Undeserved

Ivan Gvozdenovic, the number one on Elbasan's bench, appeared disappointed after the 1-2 loss to Egnatia.

"It was definitely bad, and we are very upset. We were good until the 29th minute, we were balanced, we played well, a good moment comes for us, the penalty. Maybe if we had scored, who knows how the match would have gone. This was probably the most important moment, we are definitely upset, in my opinion we did not deserve to lose the match. But the result is 2-1 for Egnatia and I want to congratulate Egnatia for the victory.

The Tsague-Musta debate on the penalty? Everyone can miss a penalty, but the list was Lila first, Musta second. I also reacted from the bench, I told Musta that Lila or you will shoot, not Tsague and that's where I'm upset. Okay. He took responsibility, maybe it was the desire to score, but we have rules and it wasn't him for the penalty.

In the second half, at the beginning, Egnatia had three backs and it was easy for us to divide the attackers to each defender. But only one Lajthia-Lila communication, because when we are ready to press, Lajthia could stay between Xhemajli and Ndreca, when he was pressing high, Lila could come. But maybe we were not communicating at the right time.

"In the end we had four offensive players, plus Musta and Lila on the wings. The goal came when the winger changed quickly. Even psychologically we were a little more demanding after Egnatia's goal, then also when we lost the penalty, we are definitely very upset," said Gvozdenovic.
