Neftekhimik forward Dmitry Zhukenov speaks with the media after a following 3–2 win over Admiral.
– It was a good game. Admiral fights until the end of the game. Everyone understands how much we need these points. Good job!
– The team led 2–0, played well, but after the first conceded goal and from the beginning of the third, the team did not play its hockey. Did the opponent force you to make mistakes?
– Probably not. We felt insecure, tried to play simpler. That is why Admiral tried to use it.
– This season you have already played in the Far East against Admiral. We played two games at home. How different are these away game from home games?
– When you play at home, you try to create more chances. It is always like that. Admiral plays the same way at home.
– Dmitry Sokolov moved to Neftekhimik during this season. As it turned out, in childhood you crossed paths with him on the same team. Now you play in the same team and in the same line. You found a great chemistry.
– We are not used to it. It is like there was no break. Right away, from the first practice, from the first games, we found this chemistry. It should be noted that Vladimir Bryukvin, plays well.
