— I assume you've never had such a long match in your life. What's your impression?
— Indeed, it's the first time in my life that we played for two days. But these are usual realities, I know that anything is possible, so for me, it's already a typical situation.
— You scored a brace in a short period. Did you feel comfortable playing in this game context?
— Yes, I want to thank my teammates. Without them, I wouldn't have scored. It's good that I scored a brace; for every attacking player, it's important to score, and I'm satisfied that I scored twice.
— In the episode with Ramik Gadzhiyev, he passed the ball to you, and it wasn't obvious that this pass would succeed, there was a group of Zorya players. It seems like you were confident that the ball would reach you.
— I know that Ramik can play well one-on-one and one against two. I was waiting for the ball, he passed it to me, and I scored.
