- Rumor has it that three Premier League clubs are fighting for you at once: Lokomotiv, Moscow and Saturn.
- I still have a year of contact with the Torpedo. And the issues of my transition will be decided by the club management. And in any case, I can’t change anything.
- And what would you prefer: to remain in the “Torpedo” or return to the Premier League in the ranks of another club?
- I do not want to answer this question.
- Georgy Yartsev said that he agreed to coach the “Torpedo” only because he was promised to keep the team's foundation. You enter it. It turns out, stay?
“But I'm not asking for anything.” I don’t see anything humiliating in playing in the first division. If nothing changes, I’ll work out the remaining year under the contract, and then we will decide. After all, I refused to sign a new agreement with Torpedo. Because I think this is premature.
“Did the agent advise you?”
“I don't have an agent.” All my business is done by my father. And decisions of this kind are made at the family council.
- You are the youngest in the current youth team. Do the elders not offend?
- No, we all know one way or another. Although I communicate more with Lutsenko and Dziuba. We played together for the youth team.
“Wait, were you attracted to her?”
- Yes. I was about fifteen when we were taken to friendly matches in Hungary.
- In “Torpedo” you showed yourself equally well in different positions: attacking hava, right, opornik. Does this increase the chances of getting into the starting lineup today?
- This is the first team we have gathered. Therefore, anyone can enter the field, in any combination.
- By the way, was there already a meeting like what they loved to show on the Sport channel under Chernyshov?
- Yes. We were told that a new team was being created to prepare for the qualifying round of the European Championship. And what caused those players who are known and who are in sight. There was nothing more interesting.
- Are you and Lutsenko not joking about the demotion in the first league?
- To this I can answer that Zhenya and I spent forty matches in the Premier League. Few, I think, can boast of such a figure here. Probably no one can. And in the first division we have not played yet.
- In a few hours, the starting lineup will be announced. Who are your competitors in the dispute for a place at the core?
“So I just don’t know who plays in which position and whom they put where.” You never know what the coach will decide.
- Did the team study the opponent?
- At the meeting, we were told that there will be many guys in 1984. We saw some at the European Youth Championships last summer.
- Do you know any last names from the opponent’s application?
- Not. Because I did not look at this list.
- A member of the adult world championship - Hedviges Maduro from Ajax can play against you. Do you know that?
- No, I just found out.
- Yesterday from the plane - right to the training?
“She was appointed for the evening.” Therefore, in the afternoon, upon arrival, the coaches led us to walk around Groningen so that they would not lie down.
- Beautiful city?
- I don’t know, I didn’t look closely.
- It is clear that there will be an installation before the match. But do you already have an idea how to play against the Dutch?
- No, their football is not close to me. I follow all the leading European championships, except the Dutch and French. And I am a fan of Liverpool. Since eight years. Especially now - a very fun team.
- And who is your favorite player there?
- Gerrard. You can say an example to follow.
- Is there such an example among the Russians?
- Not.
- Why?
- Our players are poorly remembered. However, like many others. I don't care who to play against.
