Dmitriyev: We played only for victory against Spartak

Igor Dmitriyev, who was named the best player of the match between Akron and Spartak, shared his impressions of the game with Match TV. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

When asked about recalling moments from last season when he played for another team and won several trophies, Dmitriyev responded that after the defeat in the previous match, he entered today's game only for victory, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity to celebrate a win this time either.

When asked about coming off the bench and immediately being named the best player of the match, he emphasized that he hadn’t thought about it at all and was solely focused on helping the team. The discussion also touched on what was lacking in the game, especially since Spartak had the upper hand in the second half.

Dmitriyev mentioned that the team was more active in the second half and that he gave his all to achieve victory. He noted that a goal was scored in the 90th minute, but due to a small mistake, the win slipped away.

He also mentioned that he saw the ball cross the line immediately in the situation leading to the goal and did not doubt the referee's decision. In this way, the player attracted the attention of fans with his active participation and simplicity in the game.
