Attacker “Neftekhimik” Ansel Galimov told Metaratings.ru that the match with Amur (1-0) in the Fonbet KHL Championship was fundamental, and also summed up the results of the home series.
– What was the motivation for two things – the defeat in Khabarovsk and the failure in the last match? Were there any particular accents on “Amur”?
– A very important match for us, in fact for four points.
– Why did it turn out to be a rather closed game? Leshchenko scored from a free kick.
– The importance of this meeting, hence such a minimum score. They played well in defense, completed the game task and Tikhoy (Tikhomirov – approx.) helped at the right times. Well, the whole team fought back, realizing how important it was to win.
– What was the key to the game apart from the goal and what difficulties did Amur cause?
– Everyone understood, them like us, that the match was fundamental, in fact, for four points. So no one wanted to be wrong, yes, we had two majorities at the start, and then there were still five against three, we had to score. But it’s a game, they survived.
— Pavel Poryadin played his 350th game in the KHL. What can you say about the success of a partner?
– I wish him good luck. Let’s not stop there.
– Sum up the results of the home series – in addition to this victory, two more over Spartak, Severstal and a loss against Vityaz.
— I think we could take two more points. Happy our fans, thank you very much for the support they gave us during this New Year holiday. It was nice to play in such an atmosphere, thank you again to them. Now we are preparing for the series away, it will also be very important. Everyone in the East understands the significance of these matches. Tomorrow there will be time to rest, and the day after tomorrow we will fly to Astana, where we will play against Barys.
