The midfielder of Kazan’s “Rubin,” **Oleg Ivanov**, shared his thoughts on the team’s growing confidence.

**”Do you feel that ‘Rubin’ has become stronger during your time with the team?”**
— We are improving, and it seems there is still room for growth. There was a time when we had just returned, and it was evident that we had lost a bit of our confidence. But now it manifests itself even in close matches, which largely speaks to what I mentioned — the unity of the team, everyone is really tight-knit.

Take yesterday’s game *(the first round of the RPL against “Akhat” (2-0). — Note from “Championat”)*, for instance; it was challenging, but thanks to our teamwork and discipline, we managed to secure the victory against “Akhat,” Ivanov stated in a video on the YouTube channel “Comment.Show.”
