On September 16, the day before leaving for Kazan, Neftekhimik had a practice, after which Head Coach Igor Grishin answered media questions.
– The team is going on its first away series. Is the team ready?– Not everyone is healthy, unfortunately, there are injured players and those who have not yet recovered from an injury. We prepared as usual. Overall, there is no difference in preparation. The only difference is that we are not playing at home.
– What can you say about the opponents we will play against?
– All the opponents are strong, serious, top–notch. In the previous games we showed that we can play against any opponent and beat them.
– What is the emotional and physical state of the team?
– Judging by today's practice and after winning two games in a row, the guys are in a good mood. Their physical condition is also good, so we hope that this will carry over to the games.
