According to the mentor, Kazan “the minority did not work out today.”
It seemed that his team stalled in the second half when they conceded two goals in three minutes…
Zinetula Bilyaletdinov: I do not agree. The second period was completely ours. What the minority missed, I agree. It cannot be removed.
You removed the goalkeeper three minutes before the end of the third half. Atypical decision for you. Did you receive it during the match?
Zinetula Bilyaletdinov: All this has been prepared. We understood that if such a situation arises, we know who to release, who to change.

Zinetula Bilyaletdinov: This is the skill level, of course.
How to deal with such CSKA?

Have you already decided who will be in goal in the next game?
Zinetula Bilyaletdinov: Of course not. Let’s breathe a little.
It seemed that sometimes “Ak Bars”, instead of just getting the record out of the zone, would flirt and endanger himself at their doors. Do you agree?
Zinetula Bilyaletdinov: We will take the comment into account, we will correct it. Everyone perfectly understands how to clear the disk, but it does not always work.

How to face the super-achievement of CSKA?
Zinetula Bilyaletdinov: Don’t give him a chance to shoot. What kind of heads are they? The situations were scored. We should not give such opportunities.
