Daler Kuzyaev: "We should have taken more risks and attacked more"
Zenit allowed Borussia to have the ball from the first minute. Was that the plan?

We were ready for this and of course, it's hard to play against Borussia here. But I think we gave them the initiative too much and we went too far back into defence. We should have taken more risks and attacked more.

What would you change in this match?

This is not a question for me, but for the coaching staff. They must look at the game and understand what mistakes we made. I hope we won't do this in the next games. 

Was there a chance to get a draw?

Yes, there was a chance, because we only conceded in the 78th minute. We almost got it and will improve.
