Neftekhimik forward Rafael Bikmullin speaks with the media after a following 1–3 loss against Barys.
– For two periods, we played great. In the third period we conced 3 goals and lost the game. We need to draw conclusions from this defeat and try to do our best to get points in the upcoming games.
– Do not you think that in the third period we did not have a good physical condition?
– It is not about it. After the break we worked pretty hard. In this way, we do not talk about physical shape. It seems to me that we lost our focus on the game.
– In two periods, Barys got only five shots on goal. Can we say that ypur team underestimated opponent’s team?
– I do not think so. Barys is our opponent for the playoffs spot. It says it all. We should have won this game.
– The upcoming game is against Kunlun RS. What is the mood of the team before this game?
– We need to forget today's game and get ready for the next one. Their team looks better in compare with previous seasons. We have only one option – we need to win.
