— Were you in a special mood for the match due to the fact that the team’s goal was not defended by the most experienced goalkeeper Dmitry Kulikov?

— Is it possible to say that after the defeat against SKA (2:5) the team was charged with sporting anger?
— The tense atmosphere was growing. But we tried to change that somehow. The whole team spoke again. The players must have understood something. Of course there was a lot of sediment.
