Reaktor head coach Igor Fyodorov talks about the game against Tolpar.
- It was summer hockey. The guys are under preseasson practices. Of course, there were some mistakes in terms of discipline. In the second period, we got away and gave the initiative to the opponent. We paid for it.
- There is another game tomorrow. How much will the lineup change?
- We will, of course, let in some "new blood". We will put in a number of other players, young guys born in 2007 and 2008.
- Today, the main goal was to see the newcomers in action. How do you think they are fitting into the team?
- Nikolai Meshkantsov is a good guy. We took him from St. Petersburg. He was born in 2006 and will complement the trio with Gizyatov and Stolyarov. They are developing a certain "chemistry". Now the pressure will ease and I think this trio will show themselves. They showed themselves today. A forward should not stand on the ice, but run and also feel his partners - defenders and forwards. There should be interaction, as well as physical and fighting qualities. Today is only the first match, but out of all the three, I will single out these guys.
