"The game did not look wonderful from the stands," said Torbinksy sincerely. "Football was primitive on both sides. Rubin worked out some combinations at least."

"And we - we had rebounds or I do not know what. Though we created two moments. Had we scored than everything could have turned out differently."

"By the end of the match I thought that the nil draw was coming and our players must have thought it as well that 0:0 is acceptable a result in such a game. But at the last minutes Rubin strengthened and twice burst our defence. It is a pity this happened."

"What I can regard as positive in the game of Lokomotiv is that we fought and did our best. Till the 87th minute Rubin had no real chances. Kazan dominated on the pitch and we played second fiddle. Though in offensive aspect I have nothing to pick up from Loko's game."

"I can say that recently I got disaccustomed of such fields as in Kazan. It was very heavy and both teams would not overexperiment. They played very simply crossing the ball forward to tall players."

"We have not played in Cherkizovo this season yet. And I am not sure that the pitch there is much better than the one in Kazan. We spent the last week before the start of the championship at the training camp. And then we flew to Kazan."

"There was an incident in the airport. We seemed to land all right. And I did not notice anything suspicious. But then we looked out of the window and saw that the plane was in a snowbank."

"Probably because of the ice the plane was carried off the runway. Thanks god nobody got hurt but in any case firemen, ambulance and the emergencies ministry were called."

"At the end of February I read in a newspaper that the cards of the last season are not to be written off and that I am suspended for the first matchday of the new Premier League."

"There was a list of seven suspended players and I found my name among them. In fact this situation is completely absurd. It is not my duties to count the cards. In the club there are people who should count them."

"One should have take trouble and solve the matter immediately after the 30th matchday against Khimki last year. That time I was awarded a yellow card unfairly."
