Aleksey Berezutskiy: It became easier only after the first goal

— The match turned out to be difficult in any case, there are no such matches in the Russian championship anymore. Even after the sending off (in the opponent's team), the game was quite monotonous. If we had any moments, it was only after the set pieces, just like Akhmat had. It became easier only after the first goal. The opponent played from defense, and it was very difficult for us to create chances.

— Yakovlev scored his first goal for PFC CSKA today. For what do you value him as a striker?
— First of all, he is very active in attack, participates in almost every attack, keeps the ball. Such a typical forward. I hope that Vladislav will progress every week and month. The coaching staff can easily give him more time on the field.

— What happened to Dzagoev, why was he substituted?
— Everything is fine with him, it is just the minute, when the substitution usually takes place to avoid additional injuries.
