– Is it time to take risks?
— We are the Lokomotiv team from Yaroslavl. I prefer not to discuss personalities at every press conference, especially when we are in the playoff final.
— What if we talk about a possible deviation of your system in such a situation?
— Our situation is not critical. Our task is the same as that of Metallurg: to win the next match.
— Does Lokomotiv have enough experience to repeat SKA’s success and win the series from 0-3?
— We do not set ourselves the goal of repeating the feat. Our goal is simple: to win the next match. If we focus on this, the task will not be overwhelming. We do not need to strive to repeat the feats of others, but simply focus on the next match,” reports “Championship” correspondent Leva Lukina.
