Branislav Ivanovic: "We believed that we could win big at home"

The first goalscorer and birthday boy spoke to the press after Zenit saw off Celtic 3-0 at Stadium St. Petersburg.
From the first to the last minute we controlled the game, but it was hard, they put us under pressure and we are happy to have achieved such a result. Today, we showed a different game from the one we played in Scotland. The away game was our first match after the winter break and after a two-month pause, it's hard to immediately start playing at such a high level. 

They only scored one goal in Scotland and that was a positive result for us. We believed that we would prepare well and we could win big at home. 

Today was a victory for the whole team and an amazing performance from many players of the Zenit players.
