Syomin: We have to keep the squad and boost it

Lokomotiv head coach Yuriy Syomin has analyzed the game against Zenit (0:2) and the season in general.

- We didn't play our best. It looks like the team are on vacation mentally. After the referee had made a mistake and allowed an illegal goal the guys started to argue with him instead of going on playing. In halftime we failed to tune them in for the second half. Everyone except for Guilherme played worse than they could.

- Why did you register Loskov for the game?

- Loskov is a coach but he's registered for the whole season as a player. We had to register him for this game so that he could be with us on the bench.

- What are the plans for mid-season?

- We have to keep this squad and make selective aquisitions. Then Lokomotiv will go forward. I would like to keep all the players who joined us this winter. We have a team that can win. We need to keep it and boost it.
