Serghei, congratulations on the scored goal. After the pause this goal must have been desired a lot. How could you comment on it?
- I was glad that the team haв won and that I could bring this victory. Everything went good for me in that episode, and I managed to score.

What can you say about the match in general?

- The match was tough because of the hot weather, especially in the first half. Unfortunately, there had been no quick football, and the pitch also didn't allow to play quick. The team gained success - that's what important. But again, due to uncofortable weather we couldn't show the game we can play.

So can you state that Olimpia spent two different half, taking into account that they conceded in the second half and played 0-0 in the first?

- It's us who spent different second half. We had slight advantage in the first half, but due to the hotness the game was not quick. In the second half we played faster, that's why we could score a goal.

Didn't the team think that Olimpia would be hard to beat after the first half?

- I believed in the best. I knew that after such injury I will be able to play and score. I think that whole team believed in victory. 

You started the match this time. Do you think that your goal will make the coach to put you in the starting line-up regularly?

- You know, I'm just doing my job. I was in the starting line-up and scored. That's what is expected from the striker. I don't know whether it will influence the coach or not. We will see. But it's up to him to decide.
Now we have an away match against Olympique de Marseille. How will the team act? Is it possible to gain victory?

- I think that our home match showed, that Olympique was not ideal. They have their weaknesses. The head coach will show us their mistakes once again and we will learn them to know how to act against them. In the home match we had more opportunities, so we could win. But the reality shows us different result. I think we will surely have opportunities in France, so we must use them.
