Kaka, “Gazprom-UGRA” head coach:
– It’s hard to play for third place. For us, this is the first such test. I was worried about how the team will behave, how much will it be motivated? I saw in the team what I want to create – it’s a team that plays for the team of Gazprom, the team that has become their life. Today young players played side by side, who still have everything ahead and experienced players – they all played with the soul. For a coach, this game is more than just a result. The game was difficult, and everyone was fighting for each other.
Evgeniy Kuksevich, “Sibiryak” head coach:
– At this stage, both physical and moral forces are already depleted, at the forefront is cohesion and male character. Today we saw an academic game in which the one who less mistakes wins. We made too many mistakes, so the result is natural. Tomorrow we will be rebuilt, corrected and played for fans with a different mood, because the way you are ill – you deserve it. Most of our guys today gave all the best, they were friendly and united. But our mistakes predetermined the result.
