Alexander Zayakin: "The season turned out to be uneven, but you can be proud of this team"

— The team's season turned out to be uneven, even a little crumpled. At the beginning, in the first round, we even went to the top, came out on top. Then there was some kind of malfunction, just after the match with Lokomotiv in the first round, and then they began to lose points.

Football is like a mirror of life – there is pain, joy, and triumph. Yes, maybe we didn't get the points, but as a team we united. I am very proud of the girls – they have learned to fight to the end, to be one team, one team. And it's even more expensive than the titles, because all this will go to the next season, in which we have to be much stronger.

I would like to say a big thank you to the fans – this is our energy. Thank you for your voices and emotions that turned ordinary matches into a celebration. Many thanks to the parents of the girls, I thank my parents too, my wife, my daughter. They support me every game, it's worth a lot.

Thanks to the management of the Dynamo Housing and Communal Services – Tatyana Mikhailovna Chernaya, who sees not only goals, but also our work, looks into the future of the team and gives space for development. Thank you so much for that!

And, of course, words of gratitude to those people who remain behind the scenes: the coaching staff, Andrei Nikolaevich Samorukov, the goalkeeper coach, Andrei Maryanovich Plakhetko, the senior coach, administrators, doctors, all the staff of Novogorsk. Honestly, little would have happened without them, they are great smart guys who do a tremendous job and thanks to whom we always feel comfortable. It gives us a lot of strength.

Girls, thank you for the season! I am proud every day of my stay with you, I am proud that I am coaching you and I hope that we still have many bright pages ahead of us, we will achieve our goals and achieve all the goals that you wrote at the beginning of the year. I'm sure of it, because these are very promising girls, a promising team that will succeed.

I would like to continue working with such players and get high from my work.
