The Zenit v Khimki man of the match spoke to us after the game. 
Karavaev: "I'd swap any personal awards for three points"

Congratulations on the win, how difficult was the match?

All games are difficult, but the first half was especially difficult and it's good that we managed to score a goal before the break. This opened up the game and we began to control the ball more and create more chances. It’s good that we scored the second goal at the end and won the game. 

There was a lot of talk about Khimki’s excellent form under Igor Cherevchenko. What was the main danger from the Moscow Region team?

We were preparing for a difficult game as Khimki have looked good in their last nine or ten matches. They are a good team. 

You must feel good winning the man of the match and scoring again at the Gazprom Arena?

It's nice to receive awards and score goals, but the most important thing is to help the team get the points, they are really important in the league right now. I'd swap any personal awards for three points. Winning is the most important thing. 

Looking at the statistics, this is the best season of your career.

I don't really follow stats, but I'm glad when I score or get assists. But the most important thing is to win.

The next match is against Sochi. How tough is this going to be?

Now all the games are tough, we have to be at our best in every game. There are no easy teams and we must try to get three points.
