Neftekhimik head coach Oleg Leontyev speaks with the media after a following 3–0 win over HC Chelny.
– I think it would not be entirely correct to say that today was real hockey. After all, we did not practice much on the ice, only a week. Therefore, there were a lot of mistakes. We paid more attention not to this moment, but to how the guys carried out our game plan. Of course, we are not completely satisfied, but the guys tried to do what we asked them to. Technical execution will certainly improve during the further training process. I still want to note that winning the first game is very important.
