Vladislav Yakovlev: I played better for the main team in the previous matches

— I played better for the main team in the previous matches. I did not really like the way I played this match. I will try to improve the game. Maybe it will be better next time.

— What did the head coach tell you before you entered the pitch?
— He told me not to be afraid, to play aggressively, not to take the feet away, to open up for the partners, to try to score.

— How is it, in general, to work with the main team? Can you handle the physical activity?
— It is a bit heavy, of course, but acceptable. I can handle it.

— What are the main differences from the youth team?
— The speed of the game, sharpness. Everything is quite different. There are also differences in terms of fighting, but first of all, the speed is different.

— With whom do you communicate most?
— With Vlad Torop, Nair Tiknizyan, Kostya Maradishvili, Ilya Shkurin.

— How did the boys from the youth team react to your call-up? Did they tease or support you?
— They did not really tease me. Maybe there were a couple of jokes (smiles). Mostly they wished me luck. Nothing special. This is not the first game with the main team, not the first training session. I am more or less getting used to it.
