Mishatkin: This is not a draw, this is a defeat

Lokomotiv U19 head coach Maksim Mishatkin reflects on the draw against Zenit (1:1) in the Gameweek 15 of the Russian Youth League.

- This is not a draw, this is a defeat. The opponent was waiting for our mistake, got the chance and scored the equaliser. If we finished our chances, the game would have been over in 30 minutes.

- Are you surprised that Zenit played with six defenders?

- No. We were stronger in the first round, as well as in the game management of today’s game. But, unfortunately, the result is a draw.

- Zenit scored a goal after their only shot on target.

- It happens. This scenario always repeats itself in football.

- Fans are finally allowed to enter the stadium.

- The stadium immediately breathed. The players saw that they were being watched. Only positive emotions, thank you very much to our fans! They helped us a lot today!
