— I love Vladivostok and I want to thank its fans for their support. This is my response to some couch experts. When a coach is interrupted twice in a press conference, it’s a lack of respect. And I respect the fans. And based on the show, I’ll say she was stubborn, even fiery. Very proud of my guys. I didn’t think they would be able to get out of themselves so much and jump over their heads.
If we compare the teams in terms of skill, then, of course, the favorite in the series was Salavat Yulaev, but the ability of my guys to listen to the coach and do what is expected of them for five games on six.. I didn’t expect them to be able to endure this much. I am proud to work with them. We caused a stir. After all, before the start of the series, I myself did not believe that we could pass Ufa. It was cool. Today Berlev scored the decisive goal with a serious injury. He should be thanked for the fact that he generally finished this game. And Anton also scored a goal, – quotes the words of Tambiev “”.
The rival of the Tambiev team in the next series will be known later – it could be Ak Bars or the winner of the confrontation between Avtomobilist and Metallurg in case Kazan loses its series against Neftekhimik.
