The CSKA striker answered journalists' questions after the match.
— CSKA held three matches with different content — with Ak Bars, Admiral and Metallurg. looking feeling your way?
— We didn't play many matches in the pre—season - I think that's why it happens so. We are still looking for our game. But everyone knows everything, and now we have discussed everything. Therefore, I think different CSKA will come out for the next match altogether.
— How much was this game similar to the first round with Severstal, where Andrey Razin also proved to be a tough nut to crack?
— These are completely different teams with their own nuances. Generally a different level of the game.
— Were you surprised how Semyon Koshelev scored against CSKA in low-level flight?
— There was such a thought: "How did we miss most of them?" Maybe they lost their concentration. But the puck bounced at some moment, ‑and that's it.
