– knew before the game that the opponent is always challenging and defending a large force. We scored from the penalty spot, but unfortunately, once allowed his opponent to even the score. Guests lot defended, ten people were constantly behind the line of the ball and ran well in the counterattack. I believe that we lost two points – quoted Capello RAF.

– What were due to replacement?

– I wanted to put out fresh players. Shennikov actually went to the place of left-handed hitter, although it can cover the entire edge of the parapet. In the center, I released Ozdoeva because we did not have enough players in the middle of the field, which could bring the ball forward. In my opinion, I made the right replacement.

– I thought until recently that we will win. Especially after the goal Dziuba. Thought that Moldova will change tactics will be revealed and will go forward, but, unfortunately, we missed.

On the questions of the media said the head coach of Moldova Alexander Curtianu :

– As expected, the game was tight. The most important thing for us was to build a team and build a new strategy game both in defense and in attack. We looked very organized, with time as we add. Today we had a very strong desire to achieve a good result. Dedication, diligence and a safety net – all this has brought benefits today.

– Do you agree with the appointment of a penalty?

– I do not comment on the refereeing. A moment with a foul on Dziuba and I did miss – giving installation one of the players.

– It was assumed that Russia will play two strikers?

– Why two? During the attack the opponent actually were four of them.
