CSKA defender Artem Sergeev about the match with Admiral and the upcoming derby against Spartak.
— Was there any resistance that the "Admiral" added?
— Yes, they are playing better than at the beginning of the season. Today they played more in the defense, so I can't say that Admiral acted aggressively.
— Is it possible to consider this match in perspective for the upcoming derby with Spartak?
— It is impossible to consider. The other team will play against us.
— Did the coaching staff have any complaints about the defensive game?
— We discussed, there were complaints after the first period. Admiral had a lot of chances, but we didn't have any at all.
— Can you comment on the delivered pucks today? Due to what did you manage to score?
— Everything is simple there. From his zone, a pass under the blue line, and Slepyshev scored a great goal. The second goal: they lifted the puck up, threw it and scored. There were no special combinations.
— The Admiral has been moving away a lot. Did that make it easier?
— Of course, you don't have to play in the defensive zone. This is due to our team actions, we played in attack – they had to foul.
