"In general everything is clear in the preparation," said the experienced goalie. "As usual –camps, training process, weekends at home."
"But I cannot say that everything is easy. Of course experience helps a lot – at least you perfectly understand why you need all this."
"I remember my first training camp – it was in France with Anatoliy Byshovets."
"That time I was passing the Cooper test for the first time and I was dead after it. I remember it very well. But I needed to experience such things."
"Now everything is different: different time, different exercises, and different training process."
"There are many young players in the team now for whom these camps are first in the main squad. I regard them with understanding for I know that it is not easy for them at all."
"On the one hand they need to train well but on the other hand they must show themselves so that the coaches make a note about them and probably include them in the squad."
"But we should not forget that Zenit is a very strong team and we have 2-3 players on every position. In such situation it is very difficult for them especially psychologically. They can perform well but the situation is not to their favour."
"Most important is that they should treat it with understanding. Everybody went through it. They must do their best and wait for their hour."
"People do not usually change a lot so I cannot say that these ten years on the highest level altered me. Only attitude to certain things and situations can change."
"As for me personally my naïve ten years old views make me smile only. Of course I have something to recall in terms of wasted opportunities and right decisions."
