Kaka, “Gazprom-UGRA” head coach:
– I think that we did the best match of all the three. The opposing team played at home and acted very well with the support of their fans. At some point, we managed to bring down the attacking impulse of “Tyumen”. Unfortunately, when we could come forward we did not succeed. We lost the match, but did not lose the series. If you look at the other playoff matches you see that everything is pretty tough. The level of the Russian championship is that any team can beat any team.
Evgeniy Osintsev, “Tyumen” head coach:
– We systematically came to this victory. We needed it emotionally, in order for the guys to believe in themselves. Today we didn’t have that stiffness, that uncertainty that we had in Yugorsk. The team showed our true face. Today we played very qualitatively, the guys worked at the maximum, we did not lose anything to “Gazprom-UGRA”. Thanks to the guys, the series continues. Tomorrow we are playing another game and we are starting to prepare for it.
