Cherevchenko: A single goal could make all the difference

Lokomotiv head coach Igor Cherevchenko shares his opinion about the top-flight match with Krylia Sovetov (0:0) that took place during Gameweek 23.

- In clashes like this one single goal can make a difference, so both sides tried rather to protect their goal than to score. Our hosts from Samara were a bit more active in the beginning of the opening half, mainly through long balls. I liked the way Krylia played. Wish them luck.

- You are in for the encounter with CSKA. The Army Men played against Mordovia two days before. Will this fact turn out to be an advantage for them?

- We have five days for preparation plus the flight. Everyone finds themselves in similar situations from time to time. It’s a normal schedule.

- Is Mykhalyk all right?

- He sprained his ankle, but it is nothing serious.
