Mr Lucescu, did you enjoy the game today? The team seemed nervous.

You can see what a difficult situation we found ourselves in, we changed almost the entire defence, this is the first time we have played this combination there. I am very pleased with the three points and that we have won, I appreciate these points more than the three points we won against Spartak.

We have not seen a coach give young places such a chance, what made you do this? 

I've been watching the young players, especially those who were with us at the training camp, They have played a lot in friendly matches and trained with us. We lost a lot of points early in the season and now we have got them back. In such situations it can be difficult to give young players a chance, because they have less confidence which is important for the match outcome.  

On the one hand we were forced to play some of the players, on the other, I've been waiting for the chance to play them. Mogilevets was told that he will take part in the match a few days ago. Chernov, who only played one half, got injured and will be out for an indefinite period.

Some fans were whistling towards the end of the match. What can you say about this?

I think that to some extent they were right, the score was very dangerous, the players protected the result and tried to bring it to a logical outcome. At the end we had every advantage, Kerzhakov pressured them and create chances, so these whistles disappeared. Once again I say that this is a very important three points. I was concerned before this match, more concerned than before the games with the leaders, like Spartak. The absence of a lot of players and a new combination in defence, pluse the late return from Ireland and a motivated opponent all concerned me. Orenburg are one of the best teams in the bottom half of the table and this showed in the fact that the match was difficult.  

Giuliano was seen in the front row of a UFC event this weekend, you are known for tough approach to discipline. What do you think about this situation?

I'm very glad to see this, when the players attend such events.On my part, there are no restrictions in regards to this.
