Vladimir Kolesnikov, the head coach of Gazprom-Ugra, spoke about the preparation of the team for the Cup final:
– The finals of the Cup, unlike the regular Championship, have their own specifics – in these games, the teams show their maximum gaming capabilities and motivation, any mistake can decide the outcome of the confrontation. We remember the defeat in the Championship, we know the strong qualities of “Tyumen” and make it as difficult for them as possible to show them. But most importantly, we need to play in our own strength and realize our moments as much as possible. There is a great desire to win the Cup, and not to take revenge. Our club always strives for maximum performance and this tournament is no exception. Due to the density of the calendar, preparation for the final goes through games in the Championship, and theoretical lessons.
