Alexander Yerokhin: "We believed that we could score, and we managed to turn the course of the match"

The Zenit midfielder on the game with Spain.
We came back when we were 2-0 down. We believed that we could score and we managed to turn the course of the match. I think if the penalty situation was different, it could have been a different result. 

Does this result add confidence? 

Of course, this is what we needed, especially before the World Cup and with one of the greats of world football. 

How was it on the pitch against such big names? 

We play football not against names, but there are two teams and you try to win. We did as the coach instructed and tried not to let them play their football and for us to develop the attacks the way we wanted. 

What can you say about a 3-3 draw?

We scored three goals and played some good attacking football. We mainly had counterattacks. We looked for the free space and found the goals from the chances we created.
