Penalty? I am grateful that this has happened, and I will draw conclusions – Sports Mail.Ru

Denys Cheryshev: "He who does not beat them does not score"

– Now we have no way back, only forward. We must move forward. May God grant new strength to approach the season

Those who do not beat them do not score a penalty. [Смолов и Фернандес] They went to hit. They wanted the best for the team. We support everyone. Do not blame anyone. Penalty – lottery. We were lucky today.

I'm happy with my four goals in the World Cup. I did not dream of that. But the team plays, not the individuals. All the guys played aloft. We were a team. I think everyone will have a chance to go to European clubs.

Ilya Kutepov: "Apparently, they are not ready for anything else"

– We have made good progress. As it happened, it happened. Apparently, we are not ready for more. The World Cup, I think France will win.

It may be a compliment that I had a good tournament, but I did not play alone, we are a team. That's why we achieved the result. It is not necessary to distinguish someone alone. We tried, fought.

In two years we will see if we can repeat this result. While it's hard to guess. The boom is already here. According to my information, children are already lining up for football schools.

Alexander Samedov: "It was my last game for the Russian national team"

– We are disappointed, but we showed that our team can be proud. It's a pity that all this happened. There was a good match, incredible emotions. A series of penalties … It is difficult now to say something, I am upset. Were a step away from the semifinals. It's great that they have changed attitudes. I think that the backbone of this team will be preserved, the team will have some thrust in future tournaments. I'm sure of it. And I have already decided everything for myself that it's time. It was my last game for the national team.

Fedor Smolov: "I've always had Michael Jordan's words in my head"

– I want to thank the locals and guys for what happened. And that I'm part of this team. I am proud of our country.

Penalty? Unfortunately, that has happened. I do not absolve myself of the responsibility not to apply it. In my head, there has always been the words of Michael Jordan: he has repeatedly tried to interpret the cast at a crucial moment and many of them were not realized. I am grateful that this has happened, and draw conclusions. The greatest thanks to the coaching staff and all the guys. Mario Fernandez: "I apologized in the locker room for an unrealized penalty"

– I have to thank all the partners for what we did. After equalizing the score, it was an emotionally strong and positive moment. And now, after a shootout, we are sad.

I asked for forgiveness in the locker room for an unrealized penalty. Took all the responsibility. But the guys said that I did not need to apologize. Smolov? I immediately went to him to remove the ground and give him some strength. Yes, he's cheated, but a lot of big players have not scored a penalty. Fedor must remain calm.

Alexander Erokhin: "There was silence in the locker room, then we found words of support"

– In the cloakroom for the first time, there was a silence. We were disappointed not to be able to extend our performance at the tournament, which united the whole country. Everyone was rooted for us, and we were one collective. Now, the devastation. It is necessary to think and continue.

What was said in the locker room should stay there. Of course, we found words of support. We started this tournament as a 23 player and a brother plus a coaching staff. In family So it was finished.
