It will be our third game in five days. We respect Lokomotiv a lot; they have good, high-quality team that plays on highest level. Our full attention is required from first until last minute, because they are a team of fighters, who never give up. They are deep on every position, have athleticism and experience, so we have to match their energy and fighting spirit.
