- First of all, I want to thank our fans. We felt your support. Of course, it was a very difficult game. The England team is one of the best teams in the world at the moment, so it's hard to play against them. But today, with such a home crowd, even though we didn't play at home, it felt like we were at home.
- Comment on your goal.
- Tsygankov played well with Konoplya, who made a timely run and gave a great pass to the penalty area.
- Could you have claimed more than a draw today?
- It's very difficult to say, because we spent a lot of time on the defensive during the match. First of all, I don't think we gave England much to create. Yes, they had the ball, but in the final phase of the game they didn't create very many chances. Maybe I'm wrong. In general, as I said, it is difficult to keep this pace of play. I think we all did very well.
- In two days we have a match with Italy. Will you have enough strength for another top team?
- We have been working in this mode for a while, we are all professionals, everyone in the team understands what needs to be done to recover. We will do our best to be in the best possible shape for the match against Italy.
