Zenit lost away to Orenburg 3-1 earlier in the season, do you remember this and has the team spoken about this?
Of course we remember it, but we’ll keep that to ourselves. We haven’t had any conversations, but players always want to take revenge for that earlier defeat.
There’s a lot of competition for the goalkeeping position at Zenit, with no solid number one? How much more does this motivate you?
I’ve lived like this almost my whole life so I’m used to it, it’s not a problem!
Do you already understand how dangerous Orenburg players are? Or do you still need time to prepare?
We recently finished the match with Spartak, there are still two days left. From today we begin to prepare for Orenburg.
You’re an experienced goalkeeper and aged 37 now. Have you been watching the Champions League and Europa League? Do you watch the goalkeepers, have you noticed anything or like someone?
I watch the games and watched yesterday and the day before. I don’t only watch the goalkeepers, but also how the overall team plays, but it’s too late to ask me about my role models.
