15.08.2024
Nefftekhimik defenseman Bogdan Kiselevich talks about the game against Avtomobilist.
- Bogdan, how would you rate the first game of the preseason?
- We don't look at the score, we learn from the implementation of some ideas that we worked on. We talked to the guys, not everyone likes everything. We discuss what can be improved.
- Surely you already miss hockey. How different is summer hockey?
- It's very different. The teams don't have optimal lineups. It's more about preparing the body. Fans just need to enjoy themselves and not look at the score.
- You've always played in teams that set the highest goals for themselves. This is a slightly different experience for you. Is there a difference in preparation, in communicating with the guys?
- I think the goals here are no less difficult. In principle, the competition will be incredibly high to get to the playoffs. The guys are all motivated. I hope that they will all progress and grow further.
- How do you rate the new league rules, where a team will not get one point if they let a goal into an empty net in overtime?
- That's right. I think that's how it should be. If you take risks, you can end up with nothing.
- And won't the entertainment value drop?
- In principle, I think the appetite for this topic will come during the battle for the playoffs. That's when it will be interesting. The league is moving towards making the games more entertaining. We are moving in this direction
- How are you adapting to the club? How did the guys accept you?
- It would be better to ask the guys how I fit into the new team. We are having a good time, training. It feels like a month has passed. Because there was a lot of training. I got acquainted with the cylinders, and the rubber bands, and the vests. As long as all this is beneficial. I have no problems with adaptation, everything is great.
