Viktor Hancharenka: We should play for victory, not divide tournaments into important and unimportant ones

- Should we expect global changes in the squad?
- There definitely will not be global ones. The schedule is quite comfortable for players when you play in three days on the fourth. Maybe we should give a break for some of them later, but not right now.

- What is the difference between current PFC CSKA and PFC CSKA last year, which did not perform very well in the Europa League?
- There are differences. We have become a year older, new players have come to us, the squad has become bigger. Our experience and newcomers let us hope for a better game in this Europa League.

- Is it true that PFC CSKA prioritizes the Russian Championship over the Europa League?
- Sometimes a question can harm the team. Our goal is the following: we must play for victory in every match, and not divide tournaments into important and unimportant ones. Players progress better in such conditions, and not when they think about which tournament is more important.

- It is the hardest for Gaich to adapt out of all the newcomers. What do you associate this with? And should we expect to see him in starting XI tomorrow?
- The answer is on the surface - all the players who came to us had game practice, but Gaich did not. As for whether he will be in the starting XI or not - today we assess his condition again and tomorrow you will see everything.

- Is the team going to play four or five at the back?
- Thank you for the question, we did not expect any of the Austrian journalists to ask about it! As for our scheme, we played with three centre-backs for quite a long time. But now, taking into account the new players, it is more convenient for us to play with two. Maybe we will sometimes change this based on a specific opponent.

- Will Fernandes and Karpov come out onto the pitch tomorrow?
- No, they have not arrived with us.
