Aleksey Berezutskiy: The game was quite aggressive, sometimes even beyond the sports

— Aleksey Vladimirovich, I wanted to ask about the atmosphere of the match. In the first half there was a lot of fighting, arguments ...
— Such matches sometimes happen at the training camp, why not? They are even useful sometimes. The main thing is that everyone is alright. The game was quite fighting, somewhere even beyond the sports. Sometimes it's nice to play like that.

— You asked the guys during the break to stand up for each other more.
— In matches where fights outweigh sports, it is important to be together, to be able to hold a punch.

— Three central defenders — a rehearsal of one of the schemes before the season?
— We just wanted to try, nothing more.

— Recently it became known that the team will continue the training camp in Turkey. Is it because you can find stronger sparring partners there?
— Yes, first of all. Before the championship resumes, it is especially important to play a good sparring match. Unfortunately, we could not find it in Spain, in Campoamor, and we will fly closer to Russia, to Turkey, and play there. Then the way home will be shorter, no problem.
