Mircea Lucescu: "A very upsetting result"

The blue-white-sky blue's Manager on the draw in Dagestan, the pitch at the Anzhi Arena, defensive errors and dropping two points
Congratulations to the hosts who got themselves a point. It's a very upsetting result, after leading with the score at 2-0 in the 18th minute of the game. If you make the mistakes that we made, both in defence and in attack you make it very difficult. The home side believed in themselves even with the score at 0-2, they tried to play and got a point. It is also difficult to play such on such a pitch, it is against entertaining football.

What stopped you from getting a result? 

First of all, the pitch. I do not think that this pitch is at the level of the Russian championship. The hosts simulated a lot, wasted time, but the Ref didn't react to it and didn't punish the Anzhi players. I need to look at the penalty again.

The Anzhi manager said he had a serious talk with the players at half-time. What did you say in the dressing room? 

What can be said? At the end of the game we had a lot of chances to score. They scored from the penalty spot and with a big deflection.

What was the key moment? When did it go wrong? 

One of our players lost the ball, I will not name him, it was a mistake from a pass and he lost it. Shatov had a chance when he went one on one and tried to chip the goalkeeper instead of shooting. How can you chip a goalkeeper who's 197 centimeters tall?
