Nair Tiknizyan: I am very happy to make my debut in Eurocups

— Tiki, what can you say about the match?
— I am happy to make my debut in Eurocups, but on the other hand, we expected different game and result from ourselves. I can highlight team's commitment. We did not use our chances in the second half, so the result is not the best for us.

— You were substituted at half-time. How do the players feel about the squad rotation?
— I always understand the coaching staff decisions properly. Objectively speaking, during the first half I got a yellow card, I did not create anything in the attack, so the substitution was natural.

— Viktor Mikhailovich noted the poor quality of the pitch. How much did it affect the game?
— I always try to ignore such factors, but, really, the pitch did not allow us to play good football. However, the opponent was in the same conditions.

— When you found out that you would be in starting XI, how did you react?
— I was calm. Eurocups — Champions League, Europa League are big tournaments, but the pitch is always rectangular and the ball is round (smiles).
