Temur Alekberov, head coach of the FC “Dynamo”:

– I think that the game turned out to be a mirror of the second match in Shchelkovo in all aspects: according to the score and failed penalties. I can say that we both said after that game many thanks to our players who left all the strength and health on the court, as an example I can name our goalkeeper and Fernandinho. Everyone gave everything they had. As for the penalties, perhaps, when two such strong teams oppose each other it is difficult to see the same outcome. It’s like a kind of lottery. At this time, yes, today it happened this way. Probably, before the penalties we supposed to have fifth game, although believed in a different outcome, however so it happened. We have very serious losses, but we will prepare and play, since we have to fight in the “golden” match, we will play it.

Kaka, head coach of the FC “Gazprom-UGRA:

– Once again, I totally agree with Temur Alekberov that this game was a mirror of the second one. It was a match between two equal teams, we led, but then the opponent drew the score, passing the game to penalties. Both teams suffered losses, and we, as coaches, need to appreciate that our players left everything on the court, including their health. After another penalty shoot-out, the result is in our favor. Both teams will play the fifth game without some players. I agree that everyone supposed we would have the fifth game, but we did not think that it was possible after 0-2 in the round. Now we are playing fifth game, and I think the one who can recover faster have a little bit more chance to win. Sorry, but both two teams are very strong, and everything can happen.

Ivan Chishkala, player of the FC “Gazprom-UGRA”:

No more emotions are left: everyone is so exhausted this season. We played both UEFA Cup and Cup of Russia and now we have a very heavy round in the championship. Two equal teams and small details decide literally everything. Emotions are following: some kind of devastation, just want to get some rest. We need to get ready for the fifth game, give everything and finish this season.
