“Dzagoev plays football not for fame and money, but because, football is his life. It is rare today that a victory is more important for a player, then the prize-money for it. But Alan - is exactly that case.”

“About Alan I'll emphasize one important trait. He was wonderfully brought up by his parents, and for that I would like to thank them myself, and as I think, in the name of the entire Russian football. Another important thing, is that Alan is very hard-working and modest.”

“When you want to stick to the highest level, there is no time for fun.”

“CSKA is one big family. Honestly, I'm very lucky being in that club.”

“Dzagoev doesn't like pathos, and that's a very positive thing.”
