"I am not at perfect mood after the nil draw with Rubin
in Kazan", said Bystrov. "This match was very tough since we
are tired at the end of the season".
"Rubin turned to be better prepared for this game, while we choose
to play the second violin and had to be satisfied with one point only".
"Since the team wins Premier League gold medals, it means that they
deserve it. Moreover Rubin performs very successfully in the Champions
League where the main fight is still in future".
"As for Spartak vs. CSKA derby, it was very interesting. Matches
between these teams are always nail-biting and they are always unpredictable".
"CSKA and Lokomotiv still have chances to catch up with Zenit in
the fight for the bronze. Now everything is in our own hands and we need
to win three points at Petrovsky stadium. Our closest challengers will
definitely take three points each, so we should beat Spartak but not to
pay attention to others".
"Speaking about the Russian national team's loss in Maribor, maybe
we were not at our best form because it was the end of the season. We
didn't show football, which our supporters waited from us".
"I wouldn't talk about underestimation of or opponents, as we were
very tited at the end of the game and conceded the goal".
