Arsen Zakharyan: We need to win the game against Sochi

— Dynamo and Lokomotiv played a crazy match. Are you disappointed with the final score?

— Of course, the team is not happy, because we were leading by 3:1. It was inexcusable to concede two goals in the second half.

— You scored a great goal in the first half. How did you manage to shoot so finely?

— I had some space and time to think. I took the pass and fired into the far corner.

— This is your tenth goal in the RPL. At a younger age, only Alan Dzagoev scored this number of goals. Is it an important achievement for you?

— I don’t think so. I didn't even know about this achievement. I only saw it on the club's social networks. It’s cool, certainly.

— What happened to the team in the second half? Why did you allow Lokomotiv to equalise?

— I would not say that we committed mistakes. Somewhere we missed the rebound, and the opponent used it.

— At the end of the game Konstantin Tyukavin put you in a good position. What prevented you from scoring?

— I didn't have enough forces, by that time I was already exhausted spending 90 minutes on the pitch. The pitch was dry and I didn’t feel the ball. I think fatigue was one of the reasons.

— You were named the Man of the derby. Does this brighten up the bitterness of a draw?

— No. It would be great if we won.

— A draw against Sochi will help Dynamo win silver medals. Can these thoughts prevent the team from winning?

— We will simply play our football. We need to come to the pitch and win.
