- Are you satisfied with your game?
“You have to decide this.” But actually I didn’t score ...
- What did the Russian team still lack to win?
- I think that there was a foul on our defender (on Vasily Berezutsky - A. Sh.) When a long pass went and an assists attack began. Therefore, one of the brothers missed the ball. But this, of course, is not an excuse. We definitely had to win.
- What can you say about your opponent?
- A good technical team, I really liked the Israelis.
- Football players come out of the locker room in a bad mood. Does this prevent you from playing successfully against Estonia? Know how to move away from disappointment?
“What else can we do?” Match with the Estonians, we must win.
- Did Hiddink swear after the game?
- Not. He said that we should not be upset that we need to work further.
- It seemed that the Russian team, having scored a quick goal, controlling the game, relaxed and considered that the outcome was already clear. It was so?
- May be. But this mood was not always, but episodes.
“Why have you been replaced?”
- I do not know. Ask Hiddink about this.
- And what prevented you from distinguishing yourself? After all, there were at least two dangerous moments at the gates of others.
- In the first half, when I hit the goalkeeper, I hurried with a blow. And in other cases, I did everything right, just could not get into the gate.
- And yet, what do you feel after this draw, which your partners call defeat? And will there be enough emotions for Estonia?
- I will try to recover. It’s good that the next game is only on Wednesday. We will need some time to forget about today's nightmare.
- A draw puts an end to the plans of the Russian team to reach the final of the European Championship?
“It is probably too early to talk about this yet.” This should be considered at the end of the meeting with Estonia.
- Do you agree that Israel will fight for one ticket to the final part?
- Yes, a very decent team. It will be difficult for both Croats and the British.
