"I have not played in the consecutive games except
seven minutes in one of them," said Roman. "That is why I arrived
to the national team with a great desire to play. Great one!"
"I wish to help the team by scoring goals and moreover a lot in the
coming two matches will depend on the attacking line."
"I have missed the previous training camp in Turkey and have not
seen my teammates for almost half a year. I can describe my feelings as
impatience."
"I have missed the guys a lot, the atmosphere in the team, the coaching
staff and personnel. In general I missed the Russian national team in
all aspects."
"The teammates have met me very cordially as usual. They ask many
questions about the life abroad, make fun, joke."
"If you enter the field without adrenalin in your blood it is time
you thought about finishing the career of a professional footballer."
"Of course such games as against Azerbaijan or Lichtenstein have
danger hidden inside. Such teams relax especially when there are talks
that you can even almost on one leg. But if you yield to this mood and
relax a bit, there will be a lot of heat and trouble."
"I will be glad with any score if it is winning. If we eliminate
any kind of slackness the result of the game rests with us. Everything
begins in the head. If it is up to competing the higher class will come
out itself."
"At the moment I feel myself perfect and should say that I am in
good form despite the fact that I have been playing for fourteen months
without breaks."
"The schedule of this year was crazy. Twenty matchdays of the Russian
Premier League, Euro, then going to England and continuous play there."
"When Tottenham played in several tournaments and played every three
days it was really difficult. And now I got used to it and after the rest
in several last rounds there is not fatigue at all."
"Right now I am dreaming about successful finishing of the World
Cup qualification stage for our team. If to say more globally than I think
about trophies."
"I am always very optimistic, the main thing is that everything is
all right in the family, it is the source of my positive feelings."
"And I will overcome temporal football troubles by all means. I am
going to work and that means I will return to the main squad of Tottenham.
Supporters should not doubt this."
