- Nikitin on defeat: we literally relaxed for five seconds, and that was enough for CSKA
“Good win to our guys and fans. Good atmosphere. Part of the game was for Lokomotiv, they had good pressure and good puck movement. However, we used our chances when we should have used them, playing against each other, getting the puck on time, and it turned out better than we expected.
Zero shot on target in 15 minutes? Great job Lokomotiv. I didn’t know it during the period, but I understood that there was some advantage on the opponent’s side. However, as I said, concentration and attention, and the start of the game – that’s what we talked about – we improved a bit. Therefore, the first match and those moments that the opponent gave us, we managed to react correctly. We kept our game plan, and the guys were loaded and understood the pressure that such a mobile opponent could exert, ”reports Championship Fedorov.
