The coach stressed that his men had reproduced on the pitch what they work on in sessions: “The boys did what we do in training, they were not afraid. That’s 60-70% of what this team is really capable of.” During the first half, Akron was able to exploit the spaces left by Lokomotiv and approached the zone of truth several times. “At times we made good decisions to try to score, but it wasn't enough,” he regretted.
Blagojević also commented on the appearance of the second act: the changes made defensively and the technical superiority of Lokomotiv put his team under pressure. “We expected it and delivered,” he said, expressing overall satisfaction with how his group had responded to the events. “They gave everything,” added the coach, who clarified, however, that he did not wish to congratulate his players for the draw as such but rather for their attitude towards the event: “I don’t want to congratulate them for the draw, but for the attitude. Psychologically it was difficult to go to Moscow to the favorite and show our face. I congratulate them for that.”
Akron will return to competition on August 15, with a trip to Rodina on the next day. This reaction outside can serve as a basis for the club to grab points in a championship where consistency will be decisive. For Blagojević, the challenge is clear: transform these positive signs into constant performance by displaying ever greater audacity and organization.
