Goalkeeper of “Salavat Yulaev” Samonov – about the victory over “Ak Bars”: “I think the audience liked the match despite the football score”

Keeper of Salavat Yulaev Alexander Samonov shared his emotions after the victory against Ak Bars in the KHL regular season match.

Game between “Salavat Yulaev” And “Ak Barsom” took place on November 18 in Kazan and ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of the Ufa team.

— We haven’t won in Kazan for a year. Now you lead 3-1 in matches, although last year you traded victories. Are you in a special mood for the derby?

— It’s nice to interrupt a series, a trend. For us it was probably an ordinary match. Personally, I try not to care who I play. Somewhere there is excitement around the derby, I go out first and do my job.

— Many people found the game boring. Your opinion?

– There were still emotions, clashes and dangerous moments. I think the crowd always loved the game, even despite the football score.

— Who from Ak Bars has the most dangerous shot?

– Probably the ones I missed. I won’t mention any of them.

— You are the best in the league in terms of save percentage, second in reliability coefficient. What’s the secret ?

— I do my job, the guys help me, such a symbiosis develops. I always try to do my job well, right from the beginning when I joined the club. You have to maintain your level, because if you give up a little, the game will disappear.

— Which one of us are you following in the NHL?

– For Sorokin, Shesterkin, but also for Vasilevsky, who will soon recover. Who is surprising? To be honest, the guys are all great. Sorokin has almost no luck, but it’s temporary. Mukhamadullin? The guys tell us how he’s doing in the AHL. I wish him to join the first team, Samonov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
