Roman Eremenko: I closed my eyes and kicked the ball
—It was a very tough match. The goal we conceded wasn't in our plan for the game, we ourselves complicated the situation today. We attacked till the end though, created some chances, and in the end of the game did what we had to.
— Why did it take Red-Blues so long to score?
— Amkar sat back with nearly the whole team after they took the lead. It's always difficult to play against such an opposition.
— Can you describe your first goal?
— The ball bounced to me from Musa near their box, I closed my eyes and kicked the ball.
— It looked like you couldn't see your second goal because of falling after you hit the ball...
— Yeah, it was due to the fans' reaction I realized the ball hit the net!
— How important are such hard-fought victories for the championship campaign?
— I think that in the end of the season, when we will count the points, games like today's one will have a major impact on the final positions.
