Leonid Kuchuk: "We're tested in every game, and this one's no exception"
Lokomotiv's head coach Leonid Kuchuk said to the press-conference the game wasn't a warmer despite big score.
- It looked like Lokomotiv were playing a pre-season friendly.
- That's not so. We're lucky to enjoy great pitch and good weather, unlike in Moscow where it's been pouring down. Here the pitch allows combinational play. We moved around well, managed good attacks. We have many high-class players who had an opportunity to play on the good grass. Nevertheless we're tested in every game and this one's no exception.
- Are you aware you're now following exactly the stats of 2004, when Lokomotiv became the champion?
- To be honest, no, I'm not. I know I have this game, I know I have the next game, and the only thing I think of is my team and our opponents. We have to be able to get the result and not to think about stats.
