30.10.2019

Alexander Gulyavtsev, the head coach of "Amur":

- It was interesting game for fans of hockey. "Neftekhimik" showed how to play all 60 minutes. We also played well, nevertheless, we made individual mistakes that led to goals. I cannot say that it was team’s fault. I saw how they felt yourself after this game. Despite the fact that we were defeated in the SO, our team got 1 point. We were able to get 2 points. I would like to thank my team for this point, and congratulate my opponent on another comeback.

Vyacheslav Butsayev, the head coach of "Neftekhimik":

- We appreciate our fan's support. Our players did their best to win. We did not show our game in the first period. "Neftekhimik" did not have enough power to play better in the beginning of the game. Players found necessary energy and tied the game. The team won this game in SO.

- "Neftekhimik" won the second game in a row due to strong-willed qualities. Do not you afraid of it before the game with "Ak Bars"?

- On the one hand it is not good, on the other it shows the strong side of the team. Why? Because there are good and bad moments in the game. The advantage of it is that our players did not give up and played till the very end to tie and won the game. Nevertheless, it is better to win without trying to save the game. We have to play accurately from the first minutes.

- Before that your team lost 6 games in a row. Now your team in the winning streak – 7 games in a row. This has never happened in the history of "Neftekhimik". Have you changed anything in terms of team preparation?

You know, we haven't changed anything. We drew attention to the team’s game and improved some issues. Our players believed in themselves, that they were able to win.
Our coaching staff is pleased with team's attitude to games and practices.
