Maxim Zinoviev: "The experience consists of such matches and such endings"

— The team certainly deserves praise for this game with CSKA. And for fighting today, and for giving yourself completely to the game. It is clear that we were counting on a slightly different result, especially since we were very close to it, especially in the second half.

But we must also understand that the experience comes from such matches, especially from the endings of such matches, which should be conducted differently than we did today.

Nevertheless, I am grateful to the girls for their dedication, for completing the game task, which could have allowed us to take away points from the contender for the championship title. There is a positive dynamic, with each game the team adds to the actions both in attack and in defense. Of course, this is a completely different game than it was in the first round. And if there is a slight disappointment from the result, then there is satisfaction from the way the team acted today.

Separately, I would like to say about Milena Lyubimova. For the second game in a row, she comes on as a substitute and scores. This is due to the fact that she takes the right positions at the moments when the ball is in the opponent's penalty area. And in general, Milena demonstrates very good qualities in her actions with every game. If we are talking about a young player, then here we see a certain perspective that will only develop.

It is clear that this is still a young player who does not always have enough stability, however, I am very happy for her and for her game. That's what we expect from her, it's the striker's job.
