Some thoughts by way of a telephone interview with Coach Oleg REZVY:

— Thank you for the congratulations on our successful beginning. The boys were fired up in their game. The group’s favorites, being the Army team (CSKA), Dynamo, and our own, are the strongest clubs and we have already played them all. So, the main battles are ahead. Nonetheless, we won’t let anyone rest easy, the players are motivated and consistent in their game, anxious to win. Besides, winning is sweet.
