Leonid Slutskiy: It hurts but I have to admit that the score is fair

— We had a positional advantage. Credits to Lokomotiv who defended properly. We didn’t have enough resources to create chances regularly. It hurts but I have to admit that the score is fair.

— Doumbia often moved to the wings. Would you explain that?
— Indeed, he didn’t have enough zones in the center, so he moved to the wings to take the ball. We tried to break opponent’s defense with different approaches.

— Why Roman Eremenko and Vasily Berezutskiy started on the bench?
— They both have the minor injuries of the adductor muscle. Roman wasn’t prepared to play the whole game, while Vasily wasn’t ready at all.

— Would they be ready to play against PSV?
— It’s hard to say. Eremenko’s problem lasts for a long time. He would be able to play, the question is how much time he would endure. It’s too early to discuss Vasily’s situation.
