The CSKA striker spoke about the match with Lokomotiv, the support of the fans and the preparation for the home series.
— An important victory took place in Yaroslavl in psychological terms. What are your thoughts on this?
— Yes, it turns out to be a difficult start to the season for us. Every victory is worth its weight in gold, a very important, team victory. It was a tough game, matches with Lokomotiv always take place in a similar way. It was important to win single combats and score first. All the further actions are on the team.
— Sergey Fedorov noted that in unsuccessful games the team failed to play exactly all 60 minutes. Did it work out today?
— Yes, the periods were more or less even. But we still make a lot of mistakes. There were fewer losses than in previous matches, but we still need to add, return to the game that we showed that season. It's clear that it won't be easy, but we have a team with character. We will overcome this milestone together.
— The fan sector was just crazy. Much louder than the entire Lokomotiv stadium. Was it nice?
— Yes, it's very cool. No matter if we win or lose, they always chant. At the end of the game, the fans gave me goosebumps. I always want the fans to come as often as possible. Only positive emotions, thank you for coming to support. It is very cool!
— Home games with Severstal and Sochi HC are ahead. How to approach them correctly?
— Now all the teams are coming out to play their best games with us. The mood for a championship is special. We need to continue to act as a team, all together. Take useful things from this game, work on the power play and prepare for home games. We don't look far, we go from game to game.
