Congratulations to the team on the victory. And words of respect to the Avtodor coach – despite the squad issues, they played very well at times today.
We've been working on increasing the tempo of the game and being more aggressive defensively lately, and I am completely satisfied with the team's performance in the first 20 minutes. After acquiring two players on loan, Avtodor have become a very athletic team. Plus, Alen Hadzibegovic is in incredible form, so it was a tough opponent to play against.
Why was Temirov absent? Family reasons. He returned yesterday and is training with us again.
I'm grateful to everyone who came to support us. I'll say again that support in Krasnodar is always very strong, and even though there weren't many spectators today, they created a great atmosphere.
