Viktor Hancharenka: We do well in defense and midfield, but we do not have enough commitment from the strikers

— I cannot say that I am dissatisfied with the team. Both in defense and in the midfield we do quite well, but we do not have the proper commitment from the attackers. We play a lot of games at the expense of midfield, and we need forwards to get involved as well. Any set-piece can change the game, and after the goal, the opponent began to defend deeply. We knew it, but we missed our chances. Therefore, the result is not very good for us.

— PFC CSKA has only one comeback victory this season — against Spartak. What is missing for the team to get back in the game?
— And when we score one or two goals first, don’t we show our character? We do not have many situations when we lose, so there is no point in talking about it.

— How can you explain not the best game in the positional attack?
— I cannot say that we acted badly. We have a lot of prerequisites to score in each game, only the last step is missing.

— From the outside it seems that the team has little strength left. Will that be enough until the end of the first part of the season?
— That will be enough, I have no doubt about it. I hope that the players who did not play today will help us.

— When should we expect Konstantin Kuchaev and Mario Fernandes?
— We will assess their condition tomorrow or the day after. Maybe one of them will be ready for the Wolfsberger.
