Neftekhimik defenseman Grigory Morozov talks about 1–2 loss against Salavat Yulaev.
– You made a KHL debut. How would you rate it?– Not everything worked out. We expected to win. This is the case in any game, in any league, with any opponent. It did not work out in the final moments. The coaches explained this. Lots of penalties. Everything accumulated, which is why we got such a result. Of course, we expected more. Both from ourselves and from the game in general. Let’s draw conclusions and move on.
– About the large number of penalties. What is the reason for this? It seems like you had a more experienced team.
– I cannot say right now. We need to watch and analyze. Right now we can only guess, but I will not do that.
– Even though the tournament is preseason, what impressions did you have of the KHL level?
– Of course, this is all new. From my first impressions, I can say that everything is going fast.
– Are you happy that you made your debut?
– Sure, I am so happy! Despite the fact that we lost today. I am glad that I made my KHL debut today. God willing, this is not the last game.
– Has anyone congratulated you yet?
– I do not know, I do not pick up the phone right after the game.
– Does the coach forbid it?
– No, it is a self-discipline.
