Gazprom-Ugra head coach Temur Alekberov and his team player Ivan Signev – about a draw with Norilsk Nickel:
Our head coach Temur Alekberov:
– I think it was a very interesting game, an exciting plot. For us, the match was divided into the first and second half. It is quite difficult to enter the game, the opponent played very aggressively. We slightly missed the pace and speed. A quick enough goal was missed, then the game was leveled, but the goal was missed in the locker room. If we take the second half, then I am pleased with the number of points that we created. Even when they began to lose 1-3 it was visible to the players that they did not give up. We tried to rectify the situation, played confidently. Already equalized, we were very close to victory, but, probably, the result is fair. At the end there was a moment near our gate. Therefore, with such a game in which each team is trying to play to win, I think, this is logical.

Our player Ivan Signev:
– A spectacular match for the audience, but for us it turned out to be quite tense. A draw for the teams is a justified result. And “Norilsk Nickel” could win, and we could win.
