Samedov: My teammates help me score

Lokomotiv midfielder Alexander Samedov summed up the Gameweek 21 fixture versus Krasnodar (2:1) of the ROSGOSSTRAKH Russian Football Championship.

- What exactly helped you win today?

- Krasnodar make up strong rivals - especially on home soil. Perhaps, today we turned out to be a bit luckier while finishing our chances. The other side had opportunities, too, yet a little something eluded them in their play. All in all, it was a clash between equal opponents.

- Can you say Lokomotiv showed top quality today?

- No, there is room for improvement. We were creative enough but could have scored more goals. Thank god, we succeeded in pressing the rival and won the game.

- You managed to strike home in each of the last four matches…

- My teammates set up goals for me providing good services. They help me score.

- Is the international break good for the team?

- It’s not that simple. A break is a break. Some guys get rested while others are called up to their national teams. Afterwards, we will get back together and resume where we left off.
