Maxim Goncharov: «Everything will be fine»
07.09.2022
Neftekhimik defenseman Maxim Goncharov speaks with the media after a following 4–3 loss against Lokomotiv.
– It was a tough start. Lokomotiv played its first home game. We knew they would play fast-paced game from the beginning. Perhaps, we were nervous a little. We need to get rid of these mistakes.
– You have not had game practice for a long time. How did you feel today?
- It is hard. The last game I played was in early December, 10 months ago. I have time; it is only the beginning of the season.
– It seemed that in the first period, we had one team, and in the second, there was a completely different team. What was in the locker room?
- We talked with the guys. We discussed that this is not the way to start the game and went out with a different mood.
– Why the team did not get at least 1 point?
- We made a lot of mistakes. We made a lot of giveaways, including mine on the blue line. These little things lead to this outcome.
– On September 10th, the team will play its first home game. Is the team ready to show a great hockey to our fans?
- Sure! We are ready. Everything will be fine!
