Alexander Erokhin: "We need to get back to our old selves in our upcoming matches"

You lost 2-0 away to Dortmund, until the final minutes it was 0-0, would 0-0 have been a positive result?

Yes, because a point away to Borussia would allow us to kick start our next games, but, unfortunately, it is what it is. We had to defend a lot and in matches like this, one mistake decides it all and unfortunately, we made a mistake and they scored.

This is the third defeat in a row for Zenit. How difficult is that psychologically for the team?

It’s not a nice streak, but I think that a good side have to be able to take a punch and come back. We need to get out of this situation and get back to our old selves in the upcoming matches.

Did the heavy rain in the second half affect the game?

No. The pitch was the same for both sides as were the weather conditions. The rain had no effect.
