Leonid Kuchuk: "We are not used to playing on the synthetic turf"

Lokomotiv head coach Leonid Kuchuk told the press-conference after a draw with Amkar the hosts were good and explained his squad picking preferences.

- There're still nine more games to play, - said Kuchuk. – I'm not really thinking about some theoretical chances for some theoretical place in the table. It is generally very hard to play with Amkar, they have never lost a single game in front of their fans this season. Besides, we're not used to playing on the synthetic turf. Getting used to natural grass is easier.

- Why didn't Boussoufa start the game?
- I pick players according to my planned strategy and tactics for a particular game. Boussoufa's appearance in the second half was successful both in terms of strategy and tactics. Mbark could have made the game when he was breaking almost one-on-one with the keeper.
