The head coach “Red Yar” Ulrich Beyers summed up the results of the game of the 3rd round of the PARI Russian Rugby Championship against Lokomotiv (2:10 p.m.).
“I want to thank the players for this game. We have worked very hard for the past 3-4 months and deserved to beat Lokomotiv. Of course, Lokomotiv deservedly won the league title last season. What helped us win? We fixed a few things and they turned out to be stronger. We knew our standards needed to be improved and we worked on it. I think today we dominated more, even though we felt like we were defending most of the time, we still outnumbered the opponent. We made mistakes that halted our progress.
Cup match against Lokomotiv in two weeks? It doesn’t matter which opponent we have in the semi-finals. We will try to focus on ourselves first and improve our game. Despite today’s victory, the game was far from perfect. We have to keep working, this is the next step towards our goals.
Khushnud Sanginov did not play today. We are satisfied with its performance. He is very young and progressing rapidly. I can’t say he’s hurt. There was a slight uneasiness, it was decided that he should miss this game. We will look forward to it in the next matches. We now have a good squad with good substitutes, there is potential for everyone to prove themselves. Yes, Krasny Yar emerged victorious. But in September, the fate of the league title will not be decided yet, we have a long way to go to reach the championship. I can say that our fans deserved the win we gave them. Krasnoyarsk is a city where rugby is loved and proud, and it deserves only the finest and most impressive victories.
