— The first goal was certainly important. It's great that he was scored by a representative of the defensive line.
- I'm very happy for Sasha (Tymchik - approx.). We had the task of closing the far post. Sanya was there... happy for him, goal + pass.
- It is important that he runs fast, because he managed to reach the field line at that moment.
- I think he worked 120% today.
- In the second half, the Armenians broke down a bit. Or did it not feel that way on the field?
- You're right. It was important to score the second goal to calm the game a bit. For me, as a defender, it is important to play well in defense when the score is 1:0. This is the first task. We did it. Even if they didn't score, they got the same 3 points.
- The main match will be in Krakow with Scotland for the first place.
- Yes, we have a flight, tomorrow we will recover and prepare for the next game.
— How do you feel after the injury? How much strength left on the field?
- I left a lot of strength, because there is no other way for the national team. I don't feel as perfect as I'd like, but I'm fine.
