The senior coach of Ludogorets - Georgi Dermendzhiev, speaks after the loss with 0:1 from Dynamo (Minsk), although the team continued to the third qualifying round of the Champions League, where they will face the Azerbaijani Karabakh, Topsport reported.

"This away syndrome in international matches is not from now, we are trying to work on this thing, but this is a tournament match that we won. We make a lot of individual mistakes and these are serious reasons, we are a team that plays with the ball and controls the game, at times today it worked out, but there was also disorganization," Dermendzhiev began.

"There was tension in the players and I attribute the individual mistakes to that. Maybe there will be more freedom from the next round, but we have to go as far as possible. Against a team like Qarabag, these mistakes should not be made, we should have the confidence to play football. I think that the players after this match will be calmer because they will have a tournament to play in, but we have to play a calm match both as guests and as hosts," he continued.

"We will see how the players will be restored and then it will be assessed how many and what rotations will be made against Arda,", concluded Georgi Dermendzhiev.

Ludogorets' German guard Henrik Bonmann, who made his debut in goal for Ludogorets in Minsk's 0:1 loss against Dynamo (Minsk), also commented on the match.

"Yes, I expected a difficult match. We had hoped it would be lighter, but that was the circumstances. Intense defensive game. It was the same against Batumi. After winning the first game, things get more complicated," Bonman said.

"We had reasons to be motivated, but they came together very powerfully. We had our chances to score. "When you're in the Champions League and the qualifiers, every game is difficult," he continued.

"We are a very good team. My adaptation is going well. I feel good and happy to have helped the team to continue in the next phase of the tournament.

"Maybe sometimes it's better to make it difficult because you learn the lessons. We will be more careful in the next matches. We were ready the first minutes. We were very good at them. It's the beginning of the season and we have to improve.

"It will be very, very complicated, only if you see the matches of Qarabag with Bayer Leverkusen. It gets harder with each step. We have to prepare. I think we have chances against Qarabag. I have no opinion which is the better option for us to be first guests or hosts. We want to perform well and then make a good return in front of our fans," the goalkeeper added.
