Mikhail, Zenit and CSKA have already faced each other this season, it was a difficult game with few chances. What do you think people should expect from the upcoming match?
“I think it’s not going to be an easy game, playing against CSKA has always been difficult for us. I would say the match will be very competitive and it might be similar to the Super Cup one. Though I hope and believe that we’re going to be playing a little different.”
Three matches in one week, how used is the team to this schedule?
“It’s the usual thing for us, especially since we can rotate, part of the team got some time off and some of the players weren’t participating in the match against Baltika. We’re going to approach the match in great condition.”
What mental condition is the team in after the defeat in Kaliningrad?
“The team is feeling just like after a cold shower, motivated and determined.”
What do you expect from CSKA in terms of their playing style? Would it be logical to take the Super Cup match as an example?
“I think for CSKA it might be similar to the Super Cup match, so it would make sense.”
