Sochi senior coach Vadim Garanin answered journalists' questions at the post-match press conference after the meeting with CSKA.

The final game of the PARI Premier Cup ended with the victory of the Moscow club with a score of 2:1. Artem Makarchuk distinguished himself as part of our team.

About the match with CSKA
We didn't enter the game in the first half. In the second, we saw those guys who understand what we want from them, what they want from football and from themselves. If there had been no tournament, we would have planned the calendar differently. It's great that we were able to play one line-up today, with the exception of two substitutions for certain reasons.

About future plans
It is not possible to say that we have changed something globally, that this is already our coaching team. We want to get a little deeper into the details, principles, and what we want to see. There is still time. We don't have a goal to be lower. No one lowers their hands.

About Noboa
How can you not count on a football player who was recognized as the best player at the end of last season. Certain points will need to be built now. Noboa's replacement was also planned today, as was Yusupov.

On July 17, the team will open the Tinkoff RPL season with a first round match with Torpedo. The meeting will start at 15:00.
