After a collision with Dragan Blatniak, Spahic fell like a knight. From the outside, everything looked like he was seriously injured. But after a couple of minutes the railwayman got up and ran. But Blatnyak was taken to the locker room.
“He has a concussion,” Khimki coach Vladimir Kazachenok explained after the match.
And Spakhich in the mixed zone smiled as if nothing had happened. And he did not refuse the interview.
- Emir, apparently you had a hard time meeting with the debutant of the Premier League?
- Of course it's hard. Doesn’t get along with the implementation. Something does not work ahead. In the end, Khimki stung, but we won.
- Already in which the match “Locomotive” does not succeed in the second half.
- I do not know how to explain it. After the match, we ourselves discussed why this is happening. We will still think.
- Disadvantages of physical fitness? Or a psychological problem?
- I think it's psychological. The last two defeats could not pass without a trace. And physically we are ready well.
- It is known that this week Lokomotiv head coach Anatoly Byshovets met with the club’s management. And before him they set the tough task of scoring in the next meetings. Maybe the burden of responsibility presses you too?
- After all, not only the head coach met with the leadership, but also some players. We talked hard. And, it seems to me that this helped us win.
- Is the task to take six points in the next two games of the championship?
- I do not know. Each time we fight for three points. This is our plan for this year.
- Victory over Khimki will help you pass Dynamo in the Cup?
“Of course it will help.” I think we tasted victory. And keep it until Wednesday.
- Are you satisfied with your game?
- Of course. When we don’t miss, I’m always satisfied.
- In one of the episodes after martial arts, you collapsed to the ground. It seemed to be seriously injured. Is everything okay?
- Yes. Hit with an opponent with their heads.
- And the opponent was taken away.
- Yes I know. But it seems that everything is fine with Blatnyak. I approached him after the match, apologized.
