The coach of Gazprom-Ugra Vladimir Kolesnikov and team player Andrei Afanasyev – about the defeat to KPRF (3-5).
Vladimir Kolesnikov:
– I want to congratulate KPRF on the victory. The game was divided into segments for us. In the first half, we had several points. Unfortunately, we have problems with the implementation. Then, in the process of the game – our misfortune with fouls: we collect a lot of fouls, and this limits us in the conduct of the game, we begin to play more carefully. This moment determined everything: we missed the first ball when we began to insure ourselves a bit so that we could not earn a foul. And the second ball – failed after the goal, I think this is a little of my fault. It was necessary to change the combination and calm the game. In the second half, the game “four on four” did not work out for us, there were many errors that led to two more goals. But I can praise my team – we did not give up, fought to the end, as evidenced by the score. Unfortunately, we had a bit of luck. For the desire and dedication I want to say thanks to the guys. Quality determined final score.
Andrey Afanasyev:
– Compared to yesterday’s match, there was a good move. If we compare yesterday’s and today’s speeds, there were two different matches for the audience and two different speeds. For us, the game was divided into segments, also affected by the fact that they did not realize their moments at the beginning. The last segment of the first half to lose 0-2 with such a team – this is also impossible. At the end of the second half, we entered the game, could catch the game. But… It so happened. We will be in a bad mood to prepare further, KPRF team will be in a good mood to prepare for the Champions League. Maybe this is a plus for them. In fact, we wish KPRF good luck. And so – we will wait for the second round.
