– How to you was a surprise call-up?

– It really was a surprise. I was in Moscow, when I phoned Leonid and said that calls me. I did not expect more because the final list had already been announced. I did not expect to get into the team, but after a call was very happy. Gladly agreed.

– What are the first impressions from the first training session?

– The first thing that strikes in mind – this is a very intense workout. After a weekend pretty hard to start immediately. But it is very interesting, a lot of work with the ball, you have to think fast. Time does not allow to think.

– Leonid Slutsky did not discuss coming out to play?

– No, I have not discussed anything yet. Only the working moments. Nothing special yet.

– What feelings do you have on his own readiness?

– I feel I am in good shape, much work. I hope I can help the team.

– Why “Kuban” in the beginning of the season was a recession, and now the team is on the rise? This is a consequence of a well-conducted fees or invitation new coach?

– Yes, it happened that after the change of coach came victory. It prevailed that did not win. With the advent of Tashueva have revived the game. Though nothing much has changed, as opposed to training. Khokhlov, of course, also took part in it – had charges Tasha well and put us off. Because we look good in their last league games.

– It’s a shame that Ronaldo did not attend the game?

– now – yes, sorry.

– Arshavin and Palvyuchenko once admonished?

– Yes, every day we deal with them. They are constantly helping support something advise in difficult situations.

– but they’ll say something, when you are called to the national team?

– I do not say anything because I did not see them. Maybe when I get back to the club, something and say.

– Even when it became known that Ronaldo will not arrive in Krasnodar, there were some hopes for a call to the national team?

– I know that the game will be in Krasnodar and that Ronaldo will not arrive. At heart, I am hoping that I would get a call. Before their fans will be pleased to make his debut.

– In the heart Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko hope to get a call-up?

– For example, Oleg Kuzmin, I think so They now hope.

– How do they show themselves in training?

– They are very well trained, but unfortunately injured. Then recover and get back.

– Have you ever borrowed from them in training, given their experience?

– Of course. When they came to the training I was very closely watching them – how they act, the way of communication, behavior on the field. They see the leadership qualities. It is a pity that they are so few participate in the games.

– Who are friends in the national team?

– Almost all know, there should be some special adaptation.
