Leonid Slutskiy: Surprising result
— We have to analyze the first half. In the second half, there were a few substitutions made, after which it was hard to maintain the structure of the game. In the first half I was satisfied with the way we played and the quality of football we produced. Result was a nice bonus. To some extent such result was unexpected. We carried out a large amount of work during the training camp, I didn't think that in our current conditions against a quality team who are preparing to play in the Europa League play-offs we will have such an advantage. Usually, during such games there are a large number of unforced errors.
— Will all the players who participated in the first camp stay with the team for the second one?
— Aleksandr Makarov will leave for the Youth Team's training camp. Our youngsters are preparing for the UEFA Youth League Play-off match, it's better for him to train with them. Moreover, we will participate in tournament with restricted number of substitutes allowed in every game, so he wouldn't have enough practice anyway.
— Are injured players going to join the main group from the first day of the second camp? — We will have a meeting with the medical stuff and physios, where we'll discuss each player separately. They all have positive dynamics, plus on Thursday Vasiliy Berezutskiy will join us in Spain. Though it's still early to say whether they all we'll be able to train in the full force from the first day.
