– It was a very serious fight today. Defense, collective game. We scrupulously prepared for the match, we know the opponent well, but in the regular season we didn’t manage to beat him. Therefore, we were fully loaded and prepared. It’s always particularly difficult to play on their floor. The first game of this series is therefore the most important. We did everything to win the match and get home advantage.
– How did the coach ask you to play in this game?
– He said that Nizhny will play very hard, that we should be ready for this and respond in kind. Otherwise, there will be nothing to do. Therefore, they tuned in to male wrestling and demonstrated it. Thanks to this, we managed to win.
– Your team was not without damage in this match: Dmitry Uzinsky and Okaro White…
– Yes, they broke our guys’ teeth. The “lower” likes to play hard with his elbow. But I’m sure everyone involved will be punished and the judges will watch this with us,” Shcherbenev told .
