Leonid Slutskiy: It's a shame we couldn't score more
On the win...
I believe that we completely controlled the game, had a large number of chances, but unfortunately couldn't put them away and increase our lead. Due to the fact that it was only 1-0, we felt the pressure until the last minute, though, I repeat, we played with a noticeable advantage.
on Spartak tactics...
We watched the games against Sheriff and Ural, Spartak used different tactics in those games. In Marbella they also played with three central midfielders. It was obvious for us that, considering they played 4-2-3-1 in the last game of the training camp, they may also apply this tactics today. In fact the only difference was the position of just one player, but it changed the whole picture tactically.
on Vasily Berezutskiy...
He was preparing for this game since winter camps. He could have played in Ufa, if it wasn’t for artificial pitch.
