Fernandes: We played aggressively from the first minutes

Lokomotiv midfielder Manuel Fernandes scored a hat-trick against Fastav Zlin (3:0) in a second leg group stage game of the Europa League and shares his emotions.

- It looked like the game was pretty easy.

- We scored three goals by the 17th minute and had total control of the game. I liked it that Lokomotiv were very aggressive from the first minutes. In the second half it could seem Zlin had the initiative but we controlled the situation and played on the counters. We have deserved this win. As for the hat-trick, the only important thing is that it helped the team win.

- You play every three days. How fit are the players?

- We wanted it, and were trying our best to qualify for the Europa League, so it's okay. On Sunday we will try to demonstrate our best play.

- Lokomotiv looked much weaker against Amkar and Tosno.

- You shouldn't compare those games to today's one. Both Amkar and Tosno used to pull 11 men to defence. Zlin have been showing more open play, left spaces and gave us chances to score.
