Kaka, “Gazprom-UGRA” head coach:
– I agree with my colleague that it was a real playoff. The match was good, but our team didn’t show the best game. The first reason is that we didn’t have enough emotions, you always suffer some decline after UEFA, then we also had flights from Kazakhstan to Moscow and to Yugorsk. We had little time for training, plus fatigue and micro-injuries. Of course, we didn’t want to enter the playoffs in this state, but this is what we got. We want our team to reach the tomorrow’s game more adapted. I hope that players who have worked too much today will be able to recover this night. I will talk and ask the guys who played less to raise their level and play so that it weren’t only several players working all the time. We won on penalties, and it happens in futsal that you do not play very well, but you win on penalties, like a week ago we played very well and lost on penalties. These are playoff games and you have to be ready for anything.

Evgeniy Osintsev, “Tyumen” head coach:
– It was a real playoff game with such kinda swings, so I think the audience enjoyed it. We lost on penalties, but this is a futsal lottery. The only thing that disappointed me today is that we had 5 fouls at at the beginning of the second half and had play like that all the half together with the extra time. Of course, it was hard to defend in such a situation, and we had to be cautious. We need to improve this part. I am pleased with the team, today we played our good futsal. Dynamic, which we play constantly. The series has just begun, we are distressed today, but not broken. Tomorrow it will be another game, and we will approach it with the full armor.
