Ivan Oblyakov: It was not a boring draw 0-0

— Ivan, what can you say about the match?
— A good game, spectacular, despite that the score is 0-0 there were plenty of chances — both for us and for Krasnodar. I think viewers liked the match. It was not a boring draw 0-0.

— Is a draw a loss or a success for PFC CSKA? What was the atmosphere like in the locker room right now?
— We always want to win, there were moments. We played until a mistake, we wanted to score and win. I think we lost two points.

— The defense kept a clean sheet, can it be seen as an achievement?
— Probably. I am playing defender now, so most likely yes (smiles). We are doing well in defense, not bad in attack either, we just did not manage to score.

— How do you feel in defense? If you read the comments — it is like you have been playing there all your life...
— In general, the position is familiar to me, now I have more or less adapted. I understand better how to move, coaches tell me, Aleksey Vladimirovich tells me how to act in certain situations. We get along well with partners, there are no problems.

— Would you be able to play there for the rest of your career?
— Of course, I want to be a central midfielder, but when you act on the left, you get the ball and you see the whole field. It is easier in this regard. In the center at the back, in front — there are players everywhere. I want to benefit the team, the main thing is that we win.

— Did anyone joke before the game that Brother would be against Brother?
— There was nothing like that. Vasiliy Vladimirovich is not the head coach, so I do not see the point in joking. They are legendary players, so the confrontation was exaggerated by the fans, the media.

— Is an International break good or bad for the team?
— The next game with Ural will show. I hope that we will not slow down.
