Aleksey Berezutskiy: The team played two different halves

— Today the team played two different halves — the first one was not very good, the guys played much better in the second one, created a lot of good chances, but could not score. We missed a wonderful long-range shot in the counterattack. I am satisfied with the dedication and the game, especially in the second half of the match, but, unfortunately, we did not score.

— Why did Medina not play from the first minutes? And how do you like Safonov's game?
— He played well, but it's better to ask the Krasnodar coach this question. And Medina, like Nababkin, have health problems. It's not a fact that they would have withstood the whole game.

— How can you assess the debut of Zaur Tarba? And why was he substituted?
— Good enough for the first match.

— And why was he substituted?
— He had a slight injury, and we changed the tactics.

— When can we expect to see you in social media?
— I think never. Many are blocked anyway.

— PFC CSKA had a splash after the arrival of newcomers. Now the results are gone. Has something happened to the team chemistry or is it just a question of a lack of staff?
— There are a lot of questions here, we can talk about it for a very long time.

— How to motivate the players now, taking into account recent events and the absence of European cups?
— It's not easy. A similar problem is now not only in PFC CSKA, but also in other teams.

— Can you find a pattern in the unsuccessful results?
— Many unsuccessful matches are quite different. As with Ufa, as today, as with Sochi, where we conceded logically.
