"It is the first so long a holiday in my career - almost
two months but for several days," said the forward. "Sometimes
I had a month and a half but not more."
"My spirits are high - I had wonderful holidays and really miss football
and even trainings."
"The preparation for the season is almost identical to the one of
the previous year and on its every day there is a certain schedule."
"The difference comparing to the previous season is that there are
players who took part in the World Cup - they are returning to the team
later and their schedule is corrected due to this."
"Comparing the English and Russian off-seasons there are no much
difference. Maybe because for the last years in Russia I used to work
with foreign coaches. The exercises are different but the essence is the
same. Only the duration is different - in Russia pre-season is quite longer."
"In Austria we had two friendly matches but there were no specific
tasks for the game. The head coach Arsene Wenger formulated the goal in
the following way: 'You will feel your legs tired but you will recall
what football is like."
