Leonid Slutskiy: We're unable to control the entire match at the moment
— Unfortunately, we're unable to control the entire match at the moment. Even those games, which went relatively well for us, like the game against PSV or today's game, we turn these games into victories by a single goal. The score puts some pressure on you in these situations.
There were neither Dzagoev nor Natcho today, who usually build our attacks and control the game and because of this we had some problems. Eremenko had some difficulties at unfamiliar position. Overall, we played a fairly high-quality game, especially in attack, and rightly won.
— Does this match give you food for thought ahead of the Champions League game?
— It's hard to compare today's match to the one in Champions League. So there is no food for thought.
— When Bibras Natcho will resume training?
— He will undergo medical examination on 19th October. He will miss nearly a week more.
— How would you rate condition of players, who returned from their national teams?
— The break was big enough. The last international matches were played on October 13, and the players who returned earlier, as our African players, had enough time to recover. This time international break didn't cause us problems.
