"I have not scored on the last minute for quite a while,"
said the Railway man. "Two years ago I scored a winning goal against
FC Moskva at the very end."
"When Charles was sent off the field we got an additional stimulus.
We had nothing to do but rush forward exposing the rear. It is more difficult
to play shorthanded so the match turned very emotional."
"The suspension was stupid - both cards he got for unsportsmanlike
behaviour. But that what really happened. I am not going to discuss my
teammate."
"There are eight suspensions for Lokomotiv this season though most
of them happened at the beginning of the season. When Semin came nobody
dared such liberty."
"There were more problems in the game at the start of the year. And
now it is obviously improved for we have fewer suspensions and the position
in the table is higher."
"When I failed to convert a penalty I probably did not recover from
the previous episode. I needed more time to recover breath."
But I pay homage to the goalie, he outplayed me. So there can be only
claims against myself. One must admit mistakes."
"I am happy that everything turned out well otherwise it would be
very difficult for me psychologically. There is no gloomier man than the
one failed to score a penalty."
"We knew the results of the other matches but I did not think about
this. Everything depended on us. We were to achieve a victory and think
of nothing else. When you subconsciously start predicting it never works
well."
"It sounds banal but all the teams-opponents have equal chances.
there is no main rivalry with Lokomotiv. the team will win the last ticket
to the Champions League that finish best and keep most power to the last
matches."
