Viktor Hancharenka: In such matches one episode decides everything

— What can you say about the match?
— Equal game, the scales could be tipped both in one and in the other direction. Rubin didn't start very well, we gave a lot of effort in Saint Petersburg. In such matches one episode decides everything. We couldn't take the chance, the opponent could. Ninety-nine percent isn't enough to make it a hundred percent.

— The starting lineup was without Kuchaev, but with Shkurin, Sigurdsson came out from the first minutes. Is this a rotation due to a busy schedule?
— Sure, we must also take this into account. If Kuchaev and Vlasic asked for substitutes in Saint Petersburg, it is clear that it would be difficult for them to play a whole match. Especially for Kuchaev, knowing his amount of work. When you play two days apart, the changes are obvious.

— For the second time in a short time we were unable to beat Rubin. Are we missing something or does Leonid Slutsky know PFC CSKA too well?
— He certainly knows us well, he has watched all the matches. But if you remember, in that game there was an unnecessary tackle from Vanya Oblyakov, so here we also could have achieved the result in our favor.

— We lost Nababkin for a long time. Is this a serious problem for the coaching staff?
— This is a problem when any player is out for a long time. Moreover, Nababkin was in a good shape. But this is the lineup that we have. In addition, we are viewing a centre back to strengthen the center of the defense. I think we will have a high-quality team from the next matches.
