This is a long series, and everything will be decided by small details, concentration, penalties, points of those who come on as a substitute, just what we lost.

At some point, we just stopped, believing that we could bring the match to victory without extra efforts, while veterans Sergey Monya and Vitaly Fridzon successfully entered the game at Zenit, ”TASS quotes Vatutin.
