In Lyon, Zenit played with three central defenders. Will we see that again tomorrow?

We don't know for sure. We approach each game individually, look at the state of our players and the opposition and try to select the right formation. I don’t think that we will always play in with three central defenders in the UEFA Champions League

RB Leipzig lost to Lyon after the French switched to three central defenders. Was that the reason for the win or a coincidence?

The result came from individual errors from the RB Leipzig defence. There were good moments in the match for both the Germans and the French. If Leipzig had scored first, the final result would have been different. The team that made less mistakes won and it could have been RB Leipzig, but Lyon were more fortunate in that match.

What are the strong points of Leipzig?

They have a lot of fast and young players, the team quickly plays from defence to attack, and tries to quickly win the ball back after losing it. It will not be easy and we must try to play more carefully in some areas. We will try to play our best game and Leipzig will do everything for the win too. The one who turns out to be stronger and more successful will win.

After the win over Rostov are Zenit is close to the optimal form?

The league is the league and the Champions League is the Champions League. The last game we had a good first half, in the second half we didn’t play as well as we would have liked, despite the three goals we scored. We made many mistakes in defence and attack and there were no thoughts that everything was perfect with us. There are many things to work on and we will do it. Oleg was right when he said that after a win it is easier to recover and prepare for the next match.

Leipzig have not won in four games, do you know the reason for this?

Each new game is a new story and each series begins and ends. In some matches they've had no luck. In others, the other side was good. The quality in the Bundesliga is very high, all teams, including Bayern, lose points.

Do RB Leipzig have problems in attack?

No, I do not think so.

Is everyone fit except Malcom and Mammana?

Yes, everyone is fit.
