Konstantin Kuchaev: We deserved this win

— Kostya, congratulations on your sixth goal in the season and on victory! Also the realization is back…
— If we talk about realization — I would not say that it is back. We had a lot of chances, but we only scored twice. We still need to work on it. I am glad to win, we deserved it.

— For the second match in a row the wingback is injured. Is it hard to rebuild the game after that?
— We have a lot of players who can replace each other. It was not so crucial. But, certainly, at the same time it is a loss. As a team, we worry about everyone who gets injured. I hope that Bakha will be ready after the international break.

— PFC CSKA strengthens its position in the Championship. Does the first place put pressure on the young guys?
— No, not at all. No one fixates on this, we go from game to game.

— Is Igor Akinfeev's saved penalty a key episode in the match?
— Definitely. It was a strange penalty. I did not review the video, but in the dynamics, it seemed that it was a fictional penalty. Igor's save is definitely the key moment.

— Now you are going to the national team. What do you feel about this?
— I have no energy, no emotions after the game, but I am glad that I was called up. When we arrive to the national team, everyone will feel different.
