– Did you have to anger the team with a goal today?

Did the game go as you expected, or did you have to rebuild something?

– I did not have to rebuild, but, as always, to suggest a few points during the break. There were inaccuracies and errors. But I would like to play from the start like after a goal.

– What about injuries to Chernov and Komlichenko?

– Not yet clear, of course. Tomorrow will be clearer.

– Do you still derive a little more pleasure from the victory over Spartak than over the other team?

“Honestly, I’m tired of talking. For some reason, you don’t believe. The first time, the first two games, probably yes. It’s clear. Now, no more, no less. The pleasure is great because they took three points. From this – yes, but specifically from the fact that they beat Spartak, no. Satisfaction always comes mainly from points, not from the team you beat, Karpin told .
