Mario Fernandes: I want to give this victory to our fans

— Mario, congratulations! Was it nice to congratulate yourself with the victory in Ufa?
— Thanks a lot! This weekend was a success. Yesterday was my birthday and today we won a difficult match. It is always hard to play here, and I am very happy that we sealed three points. You might say that this is a gift for me.

— You had a great moment, but the goalkeeper saved Ufa. Do you regret not scoring today?
— I am glad that the team won, I am happy with the way we played this match. We played really well and created a lot of chances. I had a moment when I got the ball and delivered a left-foot shot, but their goalkeeper kept it out. I can say that Ufa’s goalkeeper played a very good match today and saved his team many times. No wonder he was recognized the best player of the match.

— The team created a lot of chances, but scored only once. Why?
— As I said, this result is a credit to their goalkeeper. He played very well today, kept out a lot of shots. And if not for the goalkeeper, it could be a landslide victory like 3-0 or 4-0. Therefore, his game today is praiseworthy.

— Have you watched a video greeting from Army Men fans?
— Yes, I have watched this video, and I really liked it. I would like to thank all our precious fans for their love and warmth towards me. The victory in Ufa is a good gift for me, but I want to share it with PFC CSKA fans!
