— We equalized 20 seconds before the end, but then we lost. What emotions?

— The series of shootings turned out to be long.
— The goalkeepers played well and we have to do better.
— What are the training statistics?
– Well, it’s training, psychology already influences here. It influences much more than competence. It probably needs work.
— Didn’t they spy on Kovalchuk? He did it well.
“I have to call him, maybe he’ll tell me something.”
— Do you replay such matches in your head?
“Now my sadness will pass a little and understanding will come. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. I will look at my game, the team’s game, look at the mistakes and move on,” Maltsev told .
