Vladislav Yakovlev: I dedicate the goal to my parents who brought me to football

— Congratulations on a good match, on a goal! This is the first time Aleksey Vladimirovich has given you so much time on the field. Was it unexpected?
— Yes, it was a little unexpected. Of course, I wanted to come out, I was waiting for this. But I did not think that I would get so much time. Thanks a lot for the trust!

— What did he tell you before you came out?
— Nothing special: play calmly, without fuss, do not be nervous.

— You scored with your head. Is this a strong side of your game?
— I cannot judge, the coaching staff knows better. What difference does it make? The main thing is that we scored.

— What did the partners tell you? Did you thank Fedya Chalov for the assist?
— Everyone praised, encouraged, congratulated on the first goal. I immediately thanked Fedya, a great pass, I just had to complete it.

— What does a club alumnus feel when the whole stadium chants his name?
— It is a pleasure, thanks a lot to the fans. I do not know how to describe this feeling, but it was cool.

— Are these emotions similar to the first goal for the youth team?
— No, of course (laughs). They were also good for the youth team, but here it is incomparable.

— It seemed that Akhmat's sending off did not help PFC CSKA…
— I would not say that, it is just the opponent blocked the zones very correctly, did not give free space.

— Now there is a lot of competition among the strikers in PFC CSKA. What do you feel about it?
— A young player needs competition to grow. It is good.

— The fans were chanting: "We are going to St. Petersburg for a victory." Agree?
— We will do everything possible for this. We will try to take three points from there. We’ll see.
