Jose Couceiro: We cannot afford to gift victory to the opponent like that

Lokomotiv Moscow manager Jose Couceiro criticised his team after their disastrous 4-0 defeat at the hands of Rubin Kazan.

«We started badly. We were too slow, too defensive and made several mistakes. Rubin deserved to win.»

«Was the stadium’s support a factor in this?»

«I doubt it. We only have ourselves to blame.»

«Was it your biggest defeat. What do you feel?»

Yes, the team has not lost this badly since my arrival. But it is not that we lost, but how we lost. We cannot afford to give our opponents the victory like today,» the Portuguese manager stressed.
