Neftekhimik player Evgeny Mityakin speaks with the media after a following 3–1 win over Traktor.
– It was a good game, great team victory. But we cannot relax, we have a trip to the Far East ahead of us.
– It is obvious that your team was focused only on winning this game…
– We are in a situation where there is nowhere to retreat. Regardless of the opponent, we need to move only forward.
– It seems that in the last games the team got a second wind. Is that true?
– When you win, you get more confidence. But the attitude is the same as before. We always have an extreme desire to win.
– Do you follow the situation in the standings?
– Yes, we are aware of it. But we need to build on our game, and not hope for the opponent’s defeat.
– Tell us about your goals in today’s game.
– In the first case, my teammate did everything for me. Belozyorov and Shafigullin helped me with scoring this goal. With the second goal, the situation is almost the same. Without the efforts of my linemates, I would not have scored.
– Today you broke your personal record for scoring in a season. How important is that for you?
– The main thing for me is that the team got a win. Otherwise, I just want to progress. That is why you need to be better from game to game to break your personal records.
