Gazprom-UGRA defeated Almaz-ALROSA with the score 11-3 in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Russian Cup.

Kaka, Gazprom-UGRA head coach:
– For today’s match we set the task to play our game. We must show our futsal, concentration, attitude. And today our team showed a high level game, especially in the first half. We left few chances to the team on the away game. Despite the fact that we have such a stock, we can not afford to go out and lose. We will play tomorrow with a spirit of victory and with the same attitude as today.

I would like to note a wonderful atmosphere. It’s very nice to play in Mirnyy, despite the fact that there is a big difference in time with us. Today we played today at 10 am by Moscow time. But the fans gave such a game atmosphere that we quickly woke up. And even despite the fact that they support the opponent, it’s very cool, it’s very pleasant to play.

Vladimir Prominskiy, Almaz-ALROSA head coach:
– Based on the fact what a rival has come here, no one needs to motivate. Everyone in this game should show his 120 percent, but for some reason today we both burned out, or got frightened of the loud name of the opponent. The first time was completely ruined. Although we had prepared, looked through a lot of games. I think we will meet tomorrow, because we need to show a fight to our fans. It is clear that the chances are minimal for us to enter the next stage, but we need to rehabilitate somehow before the fans.
