Yegor Popov: «We will fight to the very end»

Neftekhimik forward Yegor Popov speaks with the media after a following 3–4 loss against Ak Bars.

– It is sad that we lost. We started the game well, scored two goals. After that, we lost focus on the game.

– Why the team got so much penalties at the end of the periods?

– To be honest, I do not know. As you know, for today’s game is sold out, maybe we were not ready mentally.

– Do not you think that it was not good for your team to score these quick goals?

– No. After 7 games there is playoffs. We need points. We have more games and do not give up. We will fight to the very end.
