‘Let’s not talk about Minsk. I turned this page, I want to forget it like a bad dream.

— Withdrawals let us down at the start of the game. Then they tried to rectify the situation, but not everything worked out. We conceded easy goals in the third period.
– Is it true that Andrey Markov took part in your transition?
Yes, the first conversation was with him. Since it all started. I will do everything to help the team. I understand the team plays offensive hockey, all passes are forward only.
– Michkov moved to Sochi. The matches against his team will be important for you?
– In no case, everything that happened during the pre-season could happen to any player, and not only to Matvey. It’s a blown situation.
