Why was it a tough game to win?
It was a very difficult game as Ural are a well-organised team, they’re very good tactically and we had to play to our best for the full 90 minutes to win. My congratulations to the team, we deserved this result today.
What changed the game? Was it the substitutions?
We saw that the players who came on really strengthened the team and that they are part of the first team. When the manager needs them and puts them on we can see they really are first team players.
Spartak Moscow dropped points again. How does this affect your motivation? Or it doesn’t?
No, we only look at ourselves. We have 15 rivals in the RPL and we take each game on its own merits, especially at home. We need to keep playing our game, just like we did today. If we play like we did today, then everything should work out for us.
