- Can you play one ball?
- You probably never played a cup? Of course, you can recoup. The quarter-final consists of two meetings. There is a strategy - you need to score in a foreign field. It would be better, of course, to lose 1: 2.
“But not very upset?”
- So two matches - why make a tragedy?
- Do you make a tragedy out of a team game?
- Oh ... I would not want to repeat myself.
“And yet, what happened?”
- I believe that the first half we played well. The only thing that did not score. But created enough points. But the second half failed. We conceded a goal, we could still have missed it. Of course, 0: 1 is not the best result. But again, everything is still ahead. You can fix it. The winner is determined in Cherkizovo.
- From the rostrum, it seemed that in the first half you knew how to attack, and in the second half you forgot what to do.
- From the rostrum, of course, you know better. Maybe you're right. In the second half, we practically did not create anything. There were some chaotic attacks. There was no structure of the game, it was lost. There was no movement.
- Why?
- After all, 11 people play football. And someone made a mistake, someone didn’t run, someone didn’t insure someone. All this resulted in such a result.
- Tell me, are you on the field now engaged exclusively in defensive actions, or is there a task to connect to the attack?
- Always, if possible, it is necessary to start an attack. But I try to do on the field what works best. It’s better to destroy. And to create attacks - it turns out at Loskova. I can’t argue with him on this indicator. Dima does an excellent job.
- Just not today. He was replaced.
- It's purely because of the card. Perhaps they were afraid that he would get a second.
- Is it true that after the defeat from CSKA you had a rather tough meeting in the locker room?
- There was nothing.
“But was there anything?”
- Just announced the program for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Three days later was the next match. It was already necessary to prepare for him.
- You will play against Dynamo in three days in a championship match. What needs to be changed in the actions of Lokomotiv so that everything does not end like it is today?
- The moments need to be realized.
