Neftekhimik forward Evgeny mityakin speaks with the media after a following 3–5 loss against Traktor.
– It is pity that we lost. We played well in the first and second, and in the third too. Traktor caught us on counterattacks. We did unnecessary mistakes. We need to win this kind of games.– After the second conceded goal, the opponent took the initiative. What happened?
– I would not say that the opposing team took the initiative. We played in the same way, but the third goal, a counterattack after face–off. We will work on it, the coaching staff will tell us about these mistakes. We have to win every game, no matter who the opponent is.
– Why the team did not win?
– We were punished for mistakes we made in the third. We need to stay focused.
– Can we say that the second conceded goal was a game–changer?
– I would not say. We supported each other. It does not matter which line conceded a goal, the team must be metally prepared. We have to play our game and get a win.
– We are losing the second game here.
– Traktor is a good team, you cannot make these kind of mistakes. We had many goal–scoring chances. We need to take advantage of it.
– Before that, we won five games in a row.
– Of course, victories inspire you. We are trying to do our best to make playoffs. The coaching staff, players, management - everyone wants to achieve this goal. We have every chance and we will fight for the playoffs.
