Yulia Bessolova: "I didn't expect it to be in Chertanovo Arena where I would score two goals."

— The match was not easy. What are your first impressions after the final whistle?

— I'm glad that we followed the coach's instructions, endured the second half with a man down, won and took three points.

— The team is becoming more and more combative with each match. Are you starting to understand each other better, especially in such difficult situations?

— In any case, it is getting better because we are playing together, getting used to each other. There is a result — we work, so everything is going well. God forbid, that it would be like this in the future.

— Could you imagine that you would return to Chertanovo Arena and score two goals?

— Of course not. Especially with my bad luck. I have moments in every game, but I can't realize them. I did not expect at all that I would score two goals at Chertanovo Arena.

— But this is just a scenario for a movie — to come to a place where you became a legend during your lifetime and play so brightly.

— Yes, it's cool! But first of all, because we got three difficult points. They are very important for us, even regardless of whether I scored or someone else.

Thanks to the whole team! I think we all deserved it

— At the same time, you didn't celebrate your goals in a demonstrative way...

— Well, yes, I played a lot of time for Chertanovo and I didn't want to somehow offend the girls with whom I spent more than ten years.

— And yet, what feelings did you have when you returned to the Chertanovo Arena and what are they now that you're leaving it?

— I think it's nostalgia, especially when I first came here. And then — everything is as usual, an ordinary field, players, ball.

— How did you manage to mobilize after the removal and play so well in the second half?

— It was hard. Roughly speaking, we defended well, then went on a quick attack and scored the second goal, which helped us a lot and gave us confidence.

In the second half, we mainly fought back and ran out on fast attacks when possible. Again, I want to thank everyone for enduring and winning this match.
