Sergey Toropov: "I hope we will succeed, and we will bring the bronze home"
— Congratulations on your victory. This is a great gift for all St. Petersburg fans on the birthday of our city, isn't it?
— Of course, it is an important victory. First of all, I would like to congratulate all residents of St. Petersburg on a great holiday, the city turned 321 years old. Wonderful city, wonderful people, wonderful fans, thank you for your support! Today you drove us forward, helped us to win. We hope to please you with another victory and take the bronze.
— Loko played today's match without two key players. Did you feel it?
— Of course, Okaro White and Maurice Ndour are key players, one of the main scorers of the team. But for us, the most important thing is that we won, there is no difference who played and who did not play, the main thing is to win.
— In the Loko series, you activated your long-range artillery. Where has it been during the season?
— Actually, when you have the open shot, you have to shoot it. I just used the moments to throw, one was difficult, one was to the point, it was good that I scored. There's nothing wrong with that, I've thrown before and scored before, why not continue now at the right moment.
— There is a possibility that this game will be the final home game of the season. Aren't you sad about it?
— I want to end the year on a positive note and win, and let it be in Krasnodar. I think we will meet with the St. Petersburg fans after the season, see each other again and talk, take pictures, that will be enough.
— We have to make only one step up to the bronze medal. What needs to be done to close this series in Krasnodar?
— Firstly, it will be a difficult journey to Krasnodar now, we will be on a trip almost all day. We need to recover well and try to give our all in Krasnodar, complete all the settings and react correctly to any changes in the opponent's tactics. I hope we will succeed and we will bring the bronze home.
