Maxim Zinoviev: "There is a new team that requires a lot of attention and work"

— We were preparing seriously for the game, we understood that we were facing a serious team, and I should know about it. There are moments that we had to implement and turn the score in our favor. We created good episodes after pressure, after quick and positional attacks. It was just necessary to implement! Do not give freedom to the opponent, especially in standard positions.

Of course, there are certain selection moments that shaped this team.

Confrontation with the former team? There are new realities, there is a new team, which here and now requires a lot of attention and work. Of course, we are all focused on this. But I just don't have time for all these reflections to hit on some lyrical digressions. Now there are more thoughts about today and tomorrow than about the past, so we focus primarily on these problems and tasks that we have inside.
