Zarya's head coach Yuri Vernidub answered questions from journalists at the post-match press conference on the match with Olimpic (0-0).

- It was a good game. I think that they controlled the entire course of the match. From our side, it is clear, there was a desire. It can be seen that the guys are quite well prepared physically. Although they finished the match on Friday at one o'clock in the morning. Only 65 hours to recover plus flight. Thanks managers. Everything was at a good level.

Yesterday was only a 45-minute training, and today is a game. Nevertheless, we looked pretty good. The only thing that did not work out a bit of a plan for the game, namely, quickly score. There were many desires. The moments were at Raphael, Karavaev, Tymchik.

In the second half it was harder. We had only two substitutions before the game with Leipzig. This Artem Gordienko instead of Silas and Eugene Cheberko instead of Bogdan Mikhailichenko. We gave them a break.

I can only thank the guys that they fought. In the end they could have scored. A gorgeous goal could be. Did not get a little Vlad Kochergin. It is necessary to endure. The most important is that we are on the right track. There are three days. It is necessary to recover well and prepare for the game with Leipzig.

- Today Zarya did not look as bright as in the game with Braga. The team just did not have time to recover?.

- Rate it yourself. We played four more numbers here with Chernomorets. Today is the 19th. For 15 days we spent five games. This is a game every two days. The composition is practically the same. They are not robots. But once again I repeat: even with this fatigue, the guys played football. There were good combinations and attacks. Not enough just a goal scored. I think we are on the right track. And to you and all the fans I say thank you very much for the support that you create for Dawn.

- Earlier you said that Cheberko should reconsider his attitude to the game. Today he appeared on the field. How do you rate his game?.

- I do not want to evaluate his game today. I think we will talk alone and evaluate. I do not want to say anything personally. The whole team tried today.

- It was evident that Olympique built a well-echeloned defense. Only fatigue prevented you from revealing it or did your opponent really qualitatively defend?.

- I can only praise the "Olympic" in terms of defense. I watched their games. You, I think, watched Dynamo and Alexandria, as well as Lviv - Shakhtar. If these teams are difficult to open the opponent's defense, then it's even harder for us.

"What about Luis Felipe and Gromov?".

- Gromov does not work even in the group. He has a problem with the ankle. We forecast 3-4 weeks. According to Louis - nothing terrible there. Somewhere he has such a statue ... It is better to prepare. Even on the game in Braga, when the goalkeeper reduces convulsions, then this is strange. He does not run from gate to gate. Tumchika, here today, convulsions reduced and it is clear. Man five games in a row at this level played. He plays every game of 12 kilometers.

- Why does not Lunyov apply?.

- He has a problem. I released him in the game with the Carpathians and he was injured. At least, he has a meniscus. On Tuesday, he will leave for an operation in Germany. I would very much like to see nothing more than a meniscus in there.

- On the agenda - Leipzig.

- This is a very serious team. This team does not have such a long history, but very strong sponsors.

The budget there is huge. They have several players participated in the World Cup for their national teams. This suggests that the club is very serious. We will prepare carefully. And to get acquainted specifically with the team will begin tomorrow morning. And in the evening all the children will tell specifically. We have time to prepare for this important game, and we should use it as much as possible.
