Daler Kuzyaev: "In the locker room the coach said that there is no time to celebrate and we have to keep working"

The Zenit midfielder on the win over Spartak and his own performances.
How did you manage to beat Spartak? 

It was not easy. I think we achieved victory through hard work. You saw yourself how the team fought. 

After the defeat in the Europa League did the manager have a serious talk with the team? 

Yes, you could say that. There was an analysis of what happened. But sometimes such defeats are beneficial. 

What is the situation in the locker room right now? 

In the locker room the coach said that there is no time to celebrate and we have to keep working. We need to prepare for the next match. 

You just recently scored the first goal in your Zenit career in Khabarovsk. Now you've done it again against Spartak, how do you feel? 

I am very glad of this development of events. I'm experiencing a great feeling now. 

The fans have really taken to you and you celebrated with them. 

I am very grateful to them for their recognition. The same goes for the coaching staff and my team mates. They have all helped me to adapt. We have a good team.
