You wanted Kokorin and Dzyuba to score 35 goals between them. Maybe this task is too easy for them and you should raise the bar?
That's quite a strange question, but Kokorin is playing just fine and Dzyuba's game is also gradually improving. It is important for everyone that today we played some good football. The match turned out incredibly well for us with the win.
Continuing on Dzyuba, today he was on the bench, was that due to rotation or becuase of the type of opponent? Does this mean that with defensive teams, you will use Dzyuba and with quick and open sides Kokorin and Driussi?
Dzyuba, Yerokhin and Poloz did not start because they played four days ago. Our next match is in three days and we have a busy fixture list, as you can see by our next game. What you said is not entirely true. You saw that Dzyuba played against Krasnodar and this is a very good team and we needed him in that game. Against Krasnodar he received a slight injury to his knee and until noon we weren't sure if he would be fit today for the match.
Today, for the first time, all five Argentinians started the game. Were you happy with them and how often will we see this in the future?
For me they are all just like Russians. For me the nationality of a player does not matter, I select those who are in the best condition. It does not matter whether he is Argentine, Russian or of a different nationality.
Are you satisfied with team's performance in the first half, considering that you created three chances and two chances were gifts from them?
They did not give us anything today, goals happen when someone makes a mistake. If everyone played perfectly and made no mistakes, then all matches would end up 0-0. Rigoni scored a very good goal from distance, Kokorin scored after some very quick thinking from him. We deserved those two goals.
