How do you feel on making your first start at the Gazprom Arena?

Good evening. I am happy with the first start for Zenit and at the same time it is very sad to lose on this occasion. But we need to keep working hard and focus on the match in Dortmund. 

Including substitutions, this is your third game at the Gazprom Arena, what do you think of the stadium and the fans?

I really liked it here. We have great fan support and a beautiful stadium. I hope some great victories will happen for me here!

What didn't Zenit win today?

We really wanted to win, but unfortunately, we failed. Now we need to properly prepare for the next game, which is very important.
