FC Sheriff midfielder from Belаrus Yuri Kendysh shared his experience on the win over Locomotiv Moskva with the score 2-1.
Yuri, congratulations on this important victory over Lokomotiv.
Thank you so much! I'm glad that right during this encounter we achieved good results. It's a giant leap in my football career.

What can you say after the fourth matchday has passed about the situation in the standings in our Group F?
In the tournament we are doing well: three draws and one win. Our chances to leave the group are quite high. Now the main thing is to calm down and get a serious preparation for the coming up key games. Strategically, it's an important victory.

What was the atmosphere and did you feel anxiety the day before the match?
Truthfully speaking, the atmosphere was average. Huge beautiful stadium, but not many supporters in contrast to the game in Tiraspol. Our stadium is smaller but the atmosphere was brighter.

Roberto Bordin has probably congratulated all the players on this result. What has the coach emphasized in this victory?
Well, it's hard to remember what he said. In the changing room there was something unbelievable, emotions ran high. Before the game the coach told us that we were able to beat those Railways guys. And it was proved after the game. He never loses faith in us and we, in our turn, try not to fail him.  

It is believed that our victory was reasoned by a complicated game schedule of FC Lokomotiv. Do you agree?
To my mind, Lokomotiv is a top club with an immense budget and players choice. To blame the schedule is not correct for a team like this. We had our tasks, and summing up both encounters with Moscow team, we fulfilled them.
