Shelbourne head coach: "We had a chance to equalize, but we couldn't"

"We played the first game like this too. We had a lot of defenders then too. It was a big stadium, we were playing in a tough atmosphere. We wanted it to be 0:0 in the first half so we could make changes in the second half."

Idman.biz reports that this was said by Shelbourne head coach John O'Brien after the return match of the Champions League II qualifying round against Qarabag.

- Which opponent would you like to play in the next stage, FCSB or Shkendiya?

- We hadn't thought about it until then. We were focused on this game. Both are strong.

- Do you see Qarabag's potential to reach the league stage of the Champions League?

- Qarabag has that experience. They have been playing in European cups for years. They have good players. The games will become more and more difficult.

- What do you see as the reason for your defeat? Did you not play well, or was Qarabag strong?

- We had goal chances in the second half in Dublin. We conceded goals by making mistakes. We prepared well for today's game as well. Unfortunately, there was a goal we conceded at the end of the first half. We could have equalized, but it didn't work out.

- Do you think you chose the right tactics against Qarabag?

- I'm not mistaken much. We had chances after 1:0. There is not much need to make tactical changes against teams like Qarabag.
