Ignatiev: Important win. We need to catch up with the leaders

Vladislav Ignatiev scored the winning goal against Khimki (2:1) in Gameweek 10 of the Russian Premier League and became the Man of the Match for the second time in a row.

- For the second match in a row you become the Man of the Match and for the second match in a row you start in a new position.

- I don't care where to play. The main thing is to be useful for the team. Actually, I missed playing in midfield. At first it was hard for us - Khimki defended with the whole team. It's good that we won. We need to catch up with the leaders.

- Last match you played on the left in midfield, today on the right. Khimki's goal came from the left wing. Did Rybus ask you to return to the left?

- I think he doesn't care who plays there - me, Anton or someone else. The main thing is to win.

- Nikolic said before the game that it was one of the most important games of the season.

- Yes, he told the team that it was necessary to win, that it was the most important game of the first part of the season. The match was going well, but we forgot to come on the pitch for the second half. We had to make an effort to score more. It would have been very disappointing if we dropped points.
