In the match of the 4th round of the Major League, our youth team lost to the “Volga-Saratov” with a minimal score.

Vladimir Kolesnikov, youth “Gazprom-UGRA” head coach:

– We need the game in the psychological plan to interrupt our defeat series, but, unfortunately, we didn’t make it. I was dissatisfied with the quality of the game, I did see the character needed, we could not impose our game, there were a lot of mistakes such as passes, we also failed 2 against 1 and 3 against 2 games, today we lost a lost of opportunities to score, everything went wrong. Perhaps all these moments are due to the fact that the team is young comparing to the opposing team. We do not have enough experience of playing in the Major League, in terms of mobility, struggle, now we are inferior in these moments. As it turned out, we lack desire. All we are left to do is to work on mistakes and improve from game to game, even through failures.

Vadim Mingalev, “Volga-Saratov” head coach:

– I am pleased with the fact that we got our first victory in the championship. But we lost many goalie moments, if we had scored, we wouldn’t have brought the match to a nervous ending. Nevertheless, all the players did a good job, they could unite after an insulting defeat. This victory will help us a lot.
