– Did you like the game?

– Of course, I would like a better quality of the game. But it was obvious that the team was nervous, worried. And I was worried! Still, it was our start in the European competition. And when you make something new, there is still some roughness . Nevertheless, in my opinion, we played enough to win, we had good moments.

– But exhausted?

– Not that they burned. A little were nervous. When we had to be a little calmer, we lacked composure. But this match is a huge experience for us. I hope it will help us in the game.

– Is it like if "Ufa" was higher than "Domžale"?

– I do not want to say that I am above the clbad. I mean something else. The team, which for many seasons in the selection for the Europa League, has acted more calmly. Of course, for the opponent this match was not ordinary. But he has already gone through this, already cut in the European competition. However, we had more chances to score. Maybe somebody thought we would approach a game with a capricious mood. But no. We knew we would face a good balanced team, which includes people who played at a very high level.

And I would like to say a big thank you to our fans. The match was over at the full house. This is worth a lot …

– But there were still vacant seats.

– Were. On sale was 13,170 tickets, and 11,200 came 1380 tickets – a quota for fans of the guests (on the side it seemed that no one came to support Domžale from Slovenia, the guest area was empty.) – Note "SE"). If all this is taken into account, it has turned out to be a full house. For us, it's a big win. People have come, they want to watch football. I hope they will come to support us at Lokomotiv

Maybe the fans wanted to see a more dynamic game. Nevertheless, the meeting of the last round of the previous Russian championship with Tosno was very moving, we won 5-0. With Domžale the emotions were different. But I saw how our players fought. By self-sacrifice, it was a very good match. And as for the quality, we will add. All this gives us confidence that on August 2nd we will go to the next round of the Europa League.

– As far as you know, you have planned to build a new stadium.

– There is such a message. The head of the republic has fixed a specific task. We perform reconnaissance, so to speak. In principle, we are evolving rather well. I will not name the dates, but in the near future we will be able to move on to the next step. The place is already selected. And we need not only a stadium, but an infrastructure related to the visit not only sports events. Building a single arena is not the main task.

– But the stadium itself will be purely football?

– Capacity?

– About 15,000 spectators. I would like to have no void in the stands. That is better for 14-15 thousand, but still filled, only for 30 thousand half empty.

We are seriously working on the construction of the stadium. But the decision will not take one, two, or even three months.

– Is the "Ufa" of Zhivoglyadov still?

– Up to now there are no proposals that would suit us and him.

– "Ufa" Will this further strengthen the composition?

– Want. We negotiate. Just the other day someone maybe, will come to us. But those players we would like to get, are still worth the money. Given the current realities, we would like to be cheaper. And there are no free football players among those we are interested in.

– How many beginners can there be?

– I do not think there are more than two. But if we take a stranger, another stranger will leave. If they are Russian, then young people like Danil Krugovoy (defender of 20 years, the contract with which Ufa signed this summer) – Commentary "SE").

– Did the team face the departure of Semak?

– Yes. It is clear that the departure of the head coach, as well as Sasha Nizelika, Maria Burova – is a huge loss. But I see that we have faced. The current coaching staff and the entire team know what they want.

– Have you thought about the appointment of Sergei Tomarov as head coach? On the one hand, he has been at the headquarters for a long time, and on the other is still a very young specialist

– Usually, everyone says that they must have their own players. But you have to educate and their coaching, the management staff, the staff. We follow this path. We had no other choice. We had to give Sergey Aleksandrovich the opportunity to prove himself. I am sure that he will succeed, and that we will be proud to have raised such a specialist.
