— Ak Bars scored several goals after pressure. Weren’t your players ready for that?
— I repeat that some players made a number of mistakes, after which all these goals were scored. I will not name names now. They know it very well. We must care about the result, about the team.
— Artur Tyanulin does not play two matches in a row. What is the reason for this?
