Reaktor Head Coach Igor Fyodorov speaks with the media after a following 2–3 overtime loss against Ladya.
– It was great tournament! Many thanks to the management of Lada. The conditions and other things were great.
It was a good game, especially I liked the second period. Then we outplayed the opponent, who was older and stronger than us. In the third period, apparently, we lacked strength and focus on the game. We made a number of mistakes, which led to two conceded goals. The overtime was also unsuccessful – a mistake made by a defenseman allowed the opponent to win.
– We conceded two goals in the third period. Can we say that it happened because of the pressure?
– You need to worry in another sport! In hockey, you need to have a cool head and a warm heart. Those who worry will never get anywhere. Mom, girlfriend, and relatives should worry. Hockey players are professionals, they should not even think about worrying.
