Dmitry GORIN: It's not a dream.

The veteran of Russian team, the captain of a command, shares the impressions about performance Russian futsal teams in Bosnia on selection tournament of the world championship of 2004. We shall remind, that Russians in a deciding match have conceded to a command of owners (2-3) and have ahead of schedule left from struggle.

- The capital of Bosnia, Sarajevo, has impressed front city – many traces from shells and bullets on walls of houses. Nevertheless, the Russian team did not test any household problems. We lived in quite good conditions, and a palace of sports where passed matches of selection tournament, a covering reminded the Shchelkovo hall.
The first game has developed for us very hardly. The contender, not possessing high technics, appeared extremely persistent and proof. Powerful and physically strong players of modular Macedonia tried to not give us to rapid play , and in the beginning it was possible to them to the full. Counting basically on counterattacks, macedonians stood in penal, connecting us on hands and legs, forcing to go in feint and when someone from Russians lost a ball or transfer it appeared inexact, sharp counterattack there and then followed. In a break we have talked – is biassed enough, - and on second half have left already « having included a head » - all understood, that other result, except for a victory, be simple cannot. The macedonian command something has reminded our Russian club TTG-JAVA of a sample of year prescription – age structure, tenacious game in protection, power mini-football. At account 5-4 in our advantage at the contender the player has been removed, and we managed to play superfluous. But special pleasures from a victory were not – we have simply executed a part. With a command of owners – Bosnian players – we have begun the following and deciding match on good speeds, we managed to adjust combinational game, and success appeared on our party: Russia has led 2-0. In a break the decision to play from defense was accepted, believing, that the contender will be compelled to attack and will weaken protection, and at us the chance of success in counterattacks will appear. But has developed differently. Bosnian steel play stronger, and we could not leave from under this pressure in any way. After the missed balls game has completely gone wrong. It has ceased to turn out absolutely all. Jury Korol at account 2-3 has got in a bar with penal, and the result on a board has remained without changes. Next day there was even an idea in the morning – may be it is dream? No, It's not a dream
