“We will fight for getting into the top three. I don’t think that the final place in the current realities does not matter. In the year of the club’s centenary, we must at least get into the top three. We have a chance to rehabilitate ourselves. The only way. There is no such thing that we do not fight for anything. We are fighting for the top three, as we fought. Is Zenit worth it? It is worth, of course, that's why you need to beat such teams, defeating them is more pleasant. You need to work, train, catch up, overtake them. As for Zenit's interest in me, I have not heard anything about it, and this does not apply to the last game, «Tyukavin said.
“It’s very difficult to play when the opponent is defending with the whole team. It was very difficult to open the defense of Nizhny Novgorod, although the coach shouted to us from the touchline to run in, to follow his set, but still something didn’t work out. It was the same with Akron , this is not our forte, apparently. During the break, they made good substitutions and in the second half they came out in a different line-up and in a different scheme, it paid off. All the guys who came on as a substitute today, well done, thanks to them. They helped, strengthened. С the release of Fedor Smolov added plus one player in the attack. He takes away the defender or me, so it was easier to play, «added the striker.
Also, Tyukavin did not agree that Arsen Zakharyan has become worse at playing lately. “I wouldn’t say that. The fact that he scores or gives there, you don’t need to look at it. The way he moves on the field, gives passes, brings us great benefits. He is the most talented player in Russia. No wonder they interested in Chelsea and the rest of the team,” said Tukavin.
