Spartak deserved to win?
- Yes, we created more scoring chances. And although Spartak issued a faceless first half, everything changed in the second half. And we missed at the end by accident. Although last season Torpedo scored exactly such a goal for us. Then Volkov distinguished himself. Interestingly, the ball flew into the same corner of the same goal. Maybe in black and white this blow is practiced?
- Did you like your opponent?
- The hosts played well. But it would be better if we missed the return ball twenty minutes before the end. And so, we had no chance to fix the score in five minutes.
- And how did you want to win if the team had one nominal striker on the field?
- In the first half, Quincy was supposed to play in the attack. But he didn’t seem to hear the setup, he played another football. Because it was replaced.
- Wojciech Kowalewski is very nervous. Do you agree?
- Not. Everyone is mistaken. In this game, Denis Boyarintsev did not use a great moment. And if we scored, we would have an advantage of two goals, the hosts would not have recouped. And Wojciech ... It's just that the goalkeepers' mistakes are always in sight. I will not blame our goalkeeper. We were lucky in the match against Zenit. Now the little god has turned his back on us. But that's okay.
- Kowalewski will not break after this goal?
- No, Wojciech is strong. And you will support him.
- At Spartak in the first half, the ball did not hold well. But in the second half, everything worked out. What happened during the break?
- They just made good replacements that strengthened our game. Less marriage. Torbinsky entered well, and Cavenagi acted normally. The Argentinian had a harder time - he had not played for a long time. Do not neglect the fact that the torpedo people are tired. They had to play tight, tough, with a minimum of errors.
- Cavenagi played somehow strange. It was a complete feeling that midfielders were ignoring him.
- This is not a question for me.
- Was it not pressured that the main competitors in the fight for the champion title lost points and only expected victory from you?
- No, on the contrary, it encouraged. Everything was in our hands. But the outcome of the meeting was decided not by the moment, but by its half.
- Do you think you will still have a chance to overtake CSKA?
- Yes, there are many matches ahead. The army team has a more complicated calendar. They play both with “Moscow” and “Zenith”. And we have ahead “Shinnik”, “Wings of the Soviets” and “Rostov”. True, with the last two teams we traditionally compete poorly at a party.
