Branislav Ivanovich: “When you're winning, and then get a draw, you feel a little disappointed"

The Serbian legend on the match with Lokomotiv Moscow.
Today was a very difficult match with a lot of counterattacks. We controlled the game and wanted to get the result, but conceded a bad goal. Probably, if we had played this way in previous matches, it would have been much better. I think today we did well and must continue like this. We still have eight games ahead of us. It's a very difficult championship and every game is decisive. 

Branislav, how much does Rakytskyi practice free kicks? 

No, he practices them in matches. 

How many freekicks out of ten would he score? 

I don’t know, he has a very good shot, which he has demonstrated in the last two matches. He has found his range and I think he'll score more.

In the first half, you had other chances, Azmoun, for example. 

Yes, there were chances and it was a tense game. Both teams wanted and tried to win, but we took a point and we continue on. 

How did the Lokomotiv goal happen? 

Yes, the ball hit Sebastian and then went into the goal. Both before and after this goal we had chances and we could have played better, but today we showed football of much higher quality than before.

Were the players disappointed at the final whistle? 

Of course, when you're winning, and then get a draw, you feel a little disappointed, but we continue on. 

But after all, Lokomotiv are your direct competitor and you took away a point so you can't be too disappointed. 

I think that the last ten games are a psychological struggle between the top teams, every match, every point is very important. We have four more points than the rest of the teams. We go on.
