Syomin: The goal by Ari released the team

Lokomotiv manager Yuriy Syomin has summarized the game against Krylya Sovetov (3:0), pointed out Ari and Kverkvelia, and praised Alexey Miranchuk.

- It was a difficult start, the first half was equal. In the second one, however, the goal by Ari released our team, we started playing effectively in attack and scored spectacular goals. I should also point out our defensive actions, we denied the opposition almost any chance.

Due to the switching of venues the stadium lacked the footballing atmosphere. We have to thank both teams for finding motivation to fight. But playing at the empty stadium is a useless enterprise.

- Solomon Kverkvelia started the game. How did you like his performance?

- We made several changes to the starting eleven after the Cup game, slotting Kverkvelia, Ari and Barinov to the lineup. They played well and were useful. Solomon won many aerial challenges.

- It was Guilherme's 200th appearance for Lokomotiv.

- It is a serious achievement. We have to praise our scout Victor Tishchenko who brought the very young Guilherme to Moscow ten years ago. And now he's a vet with 200 games on the record.

- In what capacity did Loskov fly to Ufa?

- He's a playing coach. He would probably be fielded in some future game.

- Miranchuk has scored a second goal after the restart of the campaign.

- Alexey has always demonstrated the right attitude despite the situation. He plays, and does it well.
