— How was the preparation for Avtodor?

— The preparation for Avtodor went as planned. We analyzed their players, offense and defense. I think we are ready to win.

— What are the strengths of your opponent?

— Avtodor’s strength is definitely Artem Klimenko. Yes, he doesn't show big numbers, and never has. But having such a tower in the team is always intimidating. We are preparing for him very seriously.

— Did you like the video posted on Zenit's Telegram channel where you were depicted with eggs?

— Yes, the video made by Zenit was cool and funny. I hope all the fans liked it and that it lifted their spirits. But now we need to move on and focus on the next challenge.
