Miranchuk: The pause is very timely

Lokomotiv midfielder Alexey Miranchuk has told about the Russian Football Championship Gameweek 15 match against Zenit.

- How did you like the official promo for Lokomotiv vs Zenit fixture?

- I liked it, it was really energizing. The teammates watched it too. But I didn’t think about it during the game. We just got on the field and fought.

- You easily gelled with the team, although you’ve been out of the starting eleven for some time.

- I’m fit because I’ve been a sub all this time. So I played full time today, no problem.

- Did you manage to recover after the game in Turkey?

- If we won, that means yes.

- I mean, psychologically.

- Psychologically it was hard. The pause is very timely.
