— It was a very difficult game. We could count on 3 points today, but conceded at the end. Very disappointing. But if they told us that we would score one point, we would be happy. Now after the match everyone was upset. Not too positive emotions.

- What did the coach say in the locker room?

- The fact that we are great fellows, that we have a good team. We must prepare further.

— The goal was scored in the debut of the second half. What was it, an accident, a sighted pass or still a simulated scheme?

— A sighted pass, of course. We played a very good combination, made a move. We found Misha (Mudrik - approx.), he pulled the player onto himself and drove off. Zubkov completed, a good ball.

- What emotions did the presence of fans cause?

- Many thanks to them. The support was good, it was much easier to play.

- Did what is happening now in Ukraine give an even greater fighting mood?

- Oh sure. The situation in our country is very difficult, so we go out on the field and give all our strength.
