March.
“In the summer there were a lot of changes: got a new coach, the players changed. In this situation, the ups and downs are a common occurrence. It takes time to stabilize. We have a great club. Hence the problems are always very
serious. I hope that we can get secure a European spot.”
“Last season I remained on the sidelines due to injury but now, after nearly a half years of inactivity, began to take physical fitness. So we can consider this season to be quite successful.”
“I would like to thank all the fans for their support," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Tom-Tomsk-c39228 player was quoted as saying.
