The Croatian tactician has urged his side to improve after their 2-2 draw in the latest Russian Premier League tie against Alania Vladikavkaz at Stadion Lokomotiv.
In the latest round of Russian Premier League action, Alania Vladikavkaz managed to claim a vital point against Lokomotiv Moscow after playing a hard fought draw in the respective tie on the away turf.
The hosts took the lead through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639. However, they conceded a goal soon after. Though Maicon put his side on the front foot after scoring in 33rd minutes, they could not stop the visitors scoring an equalizer
again.
Slaven Bilic’s side were dominant and should have won the match, instead of losing two points against the premier league new comers, had http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denis-Glushakov-c10855 scored from the penalty spot late in the game.
In aftermath of the outcome, Bilic has lamented the final result, saying that his side could have done better had they remained calm on the pitch, defended well and had taken all their chances.
“Of course I am not happy. We played at home and planned to take three points. Alania is a good team, they showed their strength. Alania brought a lot of problems. We scored two excellent goals and created many chances, but failed
to kill the game. At the last minute we did not have enough luck to score from the penalty spot.”
“We missed goals after goals - a problem that was not supposed to happen. I do not think that the result would have changed even if I had sent another striker on the pitch.” The Croatian Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Lokomotiv played the respective tie on the back of a 3-1 defeat against FC Krasnodar last week. Bilic admitted that the Moscow-based club were low on confidence prior to the match against Alania at home.
The Yellow-greens have now dropped down to the fourth spot on the league table after dropping points against the Alanian snow leopards.
Bilic assured the fans of taking the team back on the winning track and urged his side to prepare for the next game against FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod.
