«We still have a chance to fix everything»

— As a team, we all fought together, — said Ejuke. — We knew who we played against. We tried to show the best qualities, the best football from the first minutes to the last. Unfortunately, we could not achieve a good result.

— The coach said that you can get better after the winter training camp. Do you feel that you have succeeded?
— I have already adapted. It took a while after I came to the club. Here we have to progress and grow constantly. I try to benefit the team in trainings and in games. I understand where I got to, what is the level of the championship and the opponents. I try to improve from game to game.

— Have you already formed a good tandem with Rondon? You gave him an assist.
— We have chemistry. We are all partners, like-minded people. We are trying to improve together with all the guys.

— This is the third defeat in 2021. What is the reason for this, and do you still believe in the championship?
— Sure. We have seven more games to go. We will make every effort, and then we will see how we will finish the championship. I believe that we still have chance to fix everything.

— It is very difficult to assess the game, — said Chalov. — There was a small period in the second half when we lost the initiative, conceded two goals, and had a sending off. All ten guys fought, well done. We scored the second goal, we looked very good in the minority. We could even win it back. Unfortunately, we did not make it.

— How do you feel about the fact that you do not often get into the starting line-up?
— My job is to work at every training session, I try to prove myself in the game time that I get. I give my best in the period that I am given.
