Kaka, head coach of the FC “Gazprom-UGRA”:
– After two important victories against our main rival our team gained confidence and was able to play with the attitude needed to win. Now it is very difficult to make the player give their best, because anyway they are only thinking about the UEFA Cup. We always try to focus on the league when we play, but still our feelings and thoughts are focused on the fact that in twelve days we will play UEFA and represent the country on the European arena. Today, thanks to the guys, maybe it was not such a brilliant game show, but we played confidently, responsibly and deserved to win.

Ivan Chishkala, player of the FC “Gazprom-UGRA”:
– It was not an easy game; the victory was hard. We got a real struggle, and thank God that we won. We a hard time to send the ball into the goal, although there were good moments to build on our success. It is good we managed to score immediately after we missed. It helped us a lot, and we didn’t feel nervous, finished the game with confidence.

Aleksandr Kodanev, acting head coach of the FC ” Novaya Generatsiya”:
– We started the game pretty good, created moments and in no way were inferior to our opponent. But we missed two goals from dead ball situations. We started losing and it was very hard. We tried to keep up with our game plan but as soon as we almost drew the score, the opponent punished us. Roughly speaking, there was no intrigue. I want to thank all my guys, because now we have quite a difficult situation in the team, also some kind of epidemic diseases and injuries fell on our heads. I can only thank my guys a lot for all the suffering and struggling.

Alksandr Kriger, goalkeeper of the FC “Novaya Generatsiya”:
– We missed two unnecessary goals in the first half. They did a one-two play then something else and we started to lose control of the game. We missed the third goal and then it it was really hard to go back to the game. At some moment it was me to fail, then the fourth goal was a rebound and the fifth was my mistake. The outcome depends a lot on me, only we can cut the score gap, if I don’t defend the goal the team have hard times then.
