Head coach Vjatšeslav Zahovaiko before the match:
How satisfied are you with the two-month preparation period in Estonia?
“We have worked with the team for two months and I can say it has been a tough period for the players, but we have managed to accomplish everything we needed. I am very satisfied with the players’ work ethic and dedication. Some players have been out with injuries, but they will return soon. We played fewer matches than usual during the preparation period and therefore haven’t experienced that ‘suffering’ feeling that is important. Despite that, the team has shown incredible adaptability, stoic calmness and has kept its focus high.”
What is the goal for the season?
“Our biggest goal is well known within the team. We all understand the responsibility and ambitions in the same way and we are working hard for it. Personally, it is important for me to create a competitive training environment where everyone feels like an important part of the team and continues to develop.”
Is the starting lineup already decided?
“This week there is a positive excitement in the air, because everyone is waiting for the first match. There’s a nice buzz in the players’ legs and the boys look confident. The starting lineup will be decided on matchday.”
What are your expectations for the opening round?
“We want to start well and implement the ideas we have been building over the last two months. We know the abilities and potential of each player. For us, the process is important – and with that comes progress.”
What would you like from the fans?
“A true fan is loyal, demanding, loving, sometimes angry, supportive, joyful and united. In a short time I have understood that this is exactly what our club’s fans are like. I wish all of us an exciting, engaging, victorious journey where we move forward together.”
Captain Rasmus Peetson before the opener
