Kristijan Bistrovic: It was not difficult for me to score after a great assist from Chalov

— The match with Ufa turned out to be difficult, — said Bistrovic. — It is hard to play on a synthetic pitch. The weather was bad, it was raining all the time, a strong wind was blowing, players were even a little cold. But we still had a good match, created a lot of chances, and worked well in defense. The only thing is that we could have scored more goals.

— Why do you think the team limited to one goal?
— We did not have enough concentration for better result. Also Ufa's goalkeeper (Aleksandr Belenov) played a brilliant game. He was named the best player of the match and that speaks volumes.

— Ufa has significantly updated its squad this season. Has the style of their game changed compared to the March match?
— I think the team has become a little weaker. But at the same time, Ufa still continues to defend compactly and to look for chances in the counterattack.

— You scored a great winning goal. Can you describe it?
— It was a good attack. Shchennikov won the ball, delivered a pass to Chalov, who, in turn, delivered a smart assist to me. So it was easy for me to score.

— You already have two goals in three matches after coming out as a substitute. Can you call yourself the new PFC CSKA Joker?
— (laughs) It happened that I was successfully coming out as a substitute. But the most important thing is that the team wins. If my goals did not benefit, they would not make sense.

— Mario had a birthday the day before the match. What did the team give him?
— We gave him a cake. But the most important thing is the victory, which is also dedicated to him. We are happy that Fernandes has been playing for PFC CSKA for many years. I hope that he will continue to please the Army Men fans with his game for a long time.

— Your friend Jaka Bijol left the team and joined Hannover 96 on loan. What have you wished each other?
— We had two great years in the team. The three of us with Niks (Nikola Vlasic) were always together, we spent all our free time with each other. On the one hand, I am sad that he left. But, on the other hand, I know that it will be a step up for his career.

— The next match is against Lokomotiv. What can you say about your opponent?
— The main star, Alexey Miranchuk, left the team. The team always weakens a little when the best player leaves. But they still have a lot of top-level players. Their results in the last three years are two silver and one gold, this speaks for itself. I am sure that we will have a very difficult match, as it always happens against Lokomotiv.
