Alexander Zveaghintev: "We were sure that we would score and advance"
Yesterday you were reliable in goal. Did you prepare particularly for this match, taking into account last year experience?
- I prepared as usual, nothing special.
After 90 minutes everybody could think that the game will be decided with penalties. Were you ready for this?
- Of course. We were all ready for penalties, although we didin't practice penalties - we were sure that we would score and advance. It's good that we managed to score in the first additional period and gained victory.
If you compare Rapid last year and Rapid today, when was it harder to play?
- I think that the last season match was harder.
We have international defence, how do you communicate with partners on the pitch?
- Everything begins from training. All that we do during training sessions, we apply on the pitch. We must have good communication both during training sessons and matches.
