— It's good that we won, it turned out to be a good match with a lot of chances — said Yakovlev. — I'm happy to make my debut.

— What conversation did you have with Olic before you came out as a substitute?
— It wasn't anything special. The common phrases: "Show yourself", "I give you time".

— What can you say about Ivica Olic's work as head coach?
— It's hard to say yet, too little time has passed. Will see at the end of the championship.

— Why do you wear number 46 shirt? And do you know who wore it before you?
— I know that Alan (Dzagoev) wore this number. I didn't choose it, I got it in the youth team.

— The team played well, but could have scored more, — says Karpov. — We did not concede, and this is the main thing for me as a defender.

— Do you feel any progress in your game?
— I can't talk about it. It is better to ask the coach and our fans.

— What has changed since Olic came?
— We have the strength to press the opponent in the second half, to change the outcome of the match. The training process has also changed.
