PRESS CONFERENCE «AK BARS-NEFTEKHIMIK» 12/10/2021

Press conference «Ak Bars -Neftekhimik»

Oleg Leontyev, the head coach of HC Neftekhimik:

- It was an equal game until the third goal was scored. We scored first goals, had great possession of the puck but our individual mistakes led to conceded goals. It is necessary to play all 60 minutes smart and patiently.

- For the first time this season Neftekhimik lost 6 games in a row. Why did it happen?

- We got the first of these defeats in the last second. In two games we had two goal lead and let them to tie these games up and win it. We never give up, we always play to the very end. It happens sometime. We will try to end this losing streak.

- Perhaps, these mistakes were made due to an offensive style of the team?

- If you play an offensive hockey you should also play good in your own D-zone.

- There are the same mistakes that lead to conceded goals...

- We talk about our game and watch video. The whole team is trying to do its best.

Dmitry Kvartalnov, the head coach of HC Ak Bars:

- We played not well in the beginning of the first period, but it is quite good that we scored. Two goals were scored on the power play, five goals in total.
