The CSKA striker spoke about the victory over Sochi HC and adaptation in the CSKA club.
— How did it happen that CSKA scored two goals within 18 seconds?
— They came out charged up and aimed at the goal. This has borne fruit. We threw a lot and scored two quick goals.
— What was the coach's attitude after the first goal? Did you want to score again to discourage the opponent?
— We were setting ourselves up for a good start. In the previous match we didn't have a good start, we missed a quick goal. We wanted to rehabilitate ourselves, and it turned out to be a good first period.
— Was it important for you to score the first goal for CSKA faster?
— To be honest, I didn't even think about it. The main thing is to work for the team. And this is an additional bonus. Of course, it's nice to score a goal for such a great club as CSKA. I haven't realized it yet. I'll come home and digest it all.
— Nikita Nesterov, your countryman, was especially happy for you. Do you have a Chelyabinsk squad in your team?
— Everyone in the team supports. I just moved to Moscow, and there is support from senior comrades, including Nikita.
— Did you have a feeling of guilt because of your dismissal being used?
— Yes, an unpleasant moment. My mistake, I will try not to allow it anymore, to play more aggressively.
