Alexey Eremenko: “I didn’t notice the loss of Gerard Saturn”

On the eve of the meeting with Spartak Moscow, the captain of Saturn talks about the consequences of leaving the Gedera club, the advantages and disadvantages of the closest opponent, and that his team will never play a match.

- After the defeat in Nalchik, did Saturn have any goals in the season?

- Of course. The density in the table is very high, because we can still take fifth place. But for this you need to win the three remaining matches. This is quite within our power. Moreover, we spend two of the three matches at home.

- Have you ever played in such poor conditions as in Nalchik?

- Actually, he played in unimportant fields. But on such, as in Nalchik - never. But the strengths of "Saturn": speed, technology, counterattacks - are better manifested in good lawns. And in Nalchik one could forget about technology. There she could not be in principle. It’s a pity that it happened ...

- Many key players of Saturn will not be able to go against Spartak ...

- I think that for each position we have two equal performers. For example, a well-playing Chesnauskis can replace Vukčević. But while we, of course, do not know who will be announced tomorrow.

- “Saturn” has the most reliable defense in the league - only 19 goals conceded. After Gedera left for Spartak, didn’t she weaken?

- Not at all. Petkovich plays very well. Reliable Dyuritsa, Kinski. And, to tell you the truth, we did not feel the loss of Geder.

- And do you follow his performances for Spartak?

- Not particularly.

- But rumor is wooing for Spartak and you. Have you already been made an offer?

- I do not want to comment on this. Let's change the subject.

- Good. Who is the most dangerous player in Spartak?

- Everyone is dangerous. But first of all, it is necessary to stop Titov and Mozart, who perfectly pass. Cavenagi is dangerous if given space. Everyone needs to be afraid ... Well, not literally afraid - to express "respect." Spartak plays very well when he manages to control the ball. But out of this virtue, its shortcomings are born. Sometimes Spartak players overexpose the ball, and then the team’s game slows down.

- CSKA championship is no longer in doubt?

- The results of the army team in the championship and in the Champions League prove that this is now really the strongest club in the country.

- And what about the suspicions that CSKA is not always playing fair?

- Can not say anything. It doesn’t bother me. I play for Saturn and I can only talk about this team. So, I know for sure: while I was here, Saturn did not play a single contract match. And while I'm on the team, they will not be.

- Before moving to Russia, you were considered an attacker. But in “Saturn” you play in the center of midfield. Where is more convenient?

- I always believed and said that my position was in the middle of the field. I like to be with the ball, at the epicenter of events. If I do not meet the ball for a long time, I get annoyed, and then the game does not go.
