-    Congratulations on debut as a captain. Was it the armband that inspired you for such a great game?
-    Thank you for congrats, but I will not rate my play. My team has won, and that’s the most important thing. We managed to control the ball well, so the opponents were practically chanceless. It’s pity that we conceded a goal at the beginning of the second half. Couldn’t make up our minds in time, and were punished for it. But generally, I hope the fans will agree, the game was really played well today.

-    Talking about the fans. Who came up with an idea of dancing in front of sector 16?
-    The idea was mine. The team liked it. Apparently the fans are also happy when we thank them for their support after a game in such way.

-    You’ll have to miss the next game…
-    I’m really sorry. It could be the most important match of my career. But I know there are a lot of players within our team who can replace me. It will be OK.
