How did your team play today? Are you satisfied with them? 

I'm more than satisfied with the result of the whole game. We controlled it from the first to the last minute, of course in the first half, we had all the chances but in the second half we allowed our opponents to take the initiative. Orenburg were able to create some dangerous moments for us. They are a strong team. They pressed us and made us nervous. 

Although we could have scored more goals in the second half, Tsallagov missed a good chance and of course, Danny had a good chance, but the goalkeeper rescued them. We thought that Orenburg might pressure us even tougher, as we analyzed the game between Orenburg and Spartak, they put incredible pressure on Spartak and did not allow them to get our of defence. Probably, they thought we would have the advantage in attack and they would be able to create fast counterattacks. 

How was the pitch for you? 

Before the game, we came and had a look at the field and I saw that it was very nice pitch, just like the real thing. Much better than the ones we played on in Perm and Ufa. The pitch was very close to natural green grass.
