Mircea Lucescu: "The Super Cup means a lot for the image of the club"

The blue-white-sky blues Manager on the victory over CSKA, the importance of his first trophy at Zenit and his ambitions for the Russian players.
The first game was very difficult and there was a lot of tension, considering that for me it is my first game in Russian football and against the champions of the country. I knew that it would be an assessment of both me and the team as a whole. It is good that this result will help make it possible to play without criticism and to realize our ideas. For the image of the club winning the Super Cup means a lot, especially because of the way the team played, including the part played by the Russian players. Each of them has professional ambitions. There were good times when we completely controlled the game.  

The most important thing is to return to a team game. We need to understand patience, time, serious analysis. Overall, we deserved to win, but still they had three or four chances when they could have scored. But the team is not yet 100% ready, we played against the backdrop of fatigue. It was a good match for the spectators who came to the watch us.
