Vladimer Bosniak (Batumi head coach):
This victory was very necessary. We lost the previous match against Cactus unjustifiably. We also had problems several times before, which indicates the instability of our team. We have a lot of work, especially in defense. We have a new teammate, Ishmael Hollis, who played well, but he needs more time to help the team.
Mikheil Kobeshavidze, (Sokhumi head coach):
“We played terribly in defense. If we do not improve this problem, it will be impossible to think about success, so we will work on it.”
