- What can you say about current form of Jo and Chidi Odiah?
- What can you say about current form of Jo and Chidi Odiah?
- Jo is now working at the first squad, but he needs at least one more week to recapture his best form. Chidi will report back at September 29. I hope that they will help us in our match against Rubin on October 14.
- Whether it is possible to say that German teams are awkward for Russian clubs?
- It’s difficult to speak about any traditions. Spartak Moscow have lost 0:4 to "Bayern Munich", but it does not indicate a level of Russian football.
- What have you learn about “Hamburger SV”?
- We have seen the game with "Werder", and Vladimir Shevchuk visited a match with "Borussia Dortmund", so I think we’ve got enough information. Despite the fact that "Hamburger" are currently on a 15th place, the team picked 4 draws and lost only one game. It should be noted that Thomas Doll is young and ambitious manager. In a match with "Arsenal" German side played well and the result could be other if the goalkeeper wasn’t sent off.
- Don’t you regret that CSKA Moscow have chosen "Locomotiv" stadium? The grass at “Dinamo” is much better at this time.
- For "Hamburger SV" and for CSKA the field will be same.
- Can you say that last week’s media speculations have affected team morale?
- For the last 5 years we basically were on the first place in Russian championship (I think two times as runner-ups were a failure), and during this time many pundits spoke negatively about our team. The only conclusion for us is that we are a strong team which is doing everything right. It would be much worse if they regretted and spoke: "How nicely one team played at the first half when the score was 0:0 and then finally lost 0:4”.
- What result of tomorrow game you will consider successful?
- Our aim is to qualify for the next stage. That’s why tomorrow I expect nothing less then a win.
