In five appearances for Lokomotiv in the RPL, Dzyuba has scored six goals.
— A difficult match, especially the first half. In the second, of course, we looked more interesting. “Lokomotiv” no longer fell on bulk. They tried to load more on Artem Dziuba. We started moving, running errands, opening up our backs. And slowly pushes aside their tusks. In the end, they scored two.
– In the second half, Zenit looked better physically than Lokomotiv, and won because of that?
We didn’t swing quickly. The Lokomotiv goal, you could say, lifted our spirits. No, it’s not about physics. They started to open properly.
– How did you play against Artyom Dziuba, and how dangerous was he?
Artyom is always dangerous. Moreover, he is now in an enraged form. He fought well, dropped balls, won them. It was of course dangerous. Moreover, Artem can have half a moment, which will ultimately decide the outcome of the meeting.
– In the end, Dzyuba had such a half moment?
– Yes. But in general, the partners in the end did not quite get the transfer to Artem. They gave the bottom, he didn’t come out to throw the ball back. But honor and praise to our defenders and players in the support zone. They gained rebounds, controlled the situation – well done.
– At the very end, the heart did not move, when it seemed to many that Krugovoi either had a hand in the penalty area, or the ball hit his chest?
“He skipped a beat, yes,” Kerzhakov told .
