How long have you been playing football? Where were you before Zenit?

I have been playing since I was 11 and now I am 23! Previously I was at CSKA and Rosiyanka.

Why did you choose football?

This is the always asked question! I don’t know why football. Perhaps it was in my DNA? My mother used to play and she's passed it on to me.

How did you start your football career?

I started playing with a boys team for my age group, although they were a year younger than me. I played in a number of tournaments with them.

Your favourite football move?

Passing without looking.

The most memorable moment in your career so far?

The match against Chertanovo for the youth championship. We won 4-3!

How do you spend your weekends?

Most weekends I spend at home, I chat with my mum on video calls and with friends. Sometimes I play online games.

What are your favourite TV shows?

The Big Bang Theory, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Black Mirror, House and many others. Today I'm watching a documentary.
