- A confident victory, we took the initiative right away. The tactics we chose for the game worked, so we won confidently.

- For the first time in a few matches, the scoreboard was crushing. Are you completely satisfied with both the game and the result? Can we say that you played flawlessly, that it was a perfect match?

- Today, as you have seen, we managed to do things that we did not manage in previous games. We had good attacks, and we brought these attacks to a logical conclusion - we shot on goal and scored our goals.

- Two goals, namely those by Gusev and Tsarenko, were scored after beautiful combinations. Is this something the team has been working on, some home-made stuff?

- Yes, these are high-speed attacks, creating free areas with an advantage on the flanks, creating chances and finishing. Today we had all of that.

- How would you assess Tsarenko's progress? Did he give the team confidence today?

- Yes, Tsarenko is a first-team player, he gets game practice, so he is useful on the pitch. He brings us goals - today he scored himself and set up the attack that led to our first goal.
