CSKA head coach Ilya Vorobyov summed up the results of the victorious match with Kunlun.
- The most important event for us is that we won overtime. This is serious, we've already exhausted these overtimes. I'm glad for the guys that we finally scored in overtime and won it. This is probably the most important thing today.
- Did you break away from the opponent and lead 3:1, and then you gave up the initiative yourself or did the opponent crush you?
- The opponent started playing more aggressively. We told the guys that we need to keep playing with the puck, and we just started throwing it away, which is not quite right, not exactly what we wanted.
- In addition to overtime, what have you improved in the last two matches?
- Everything worked out for us in the last match. It was pretty good here too, except for the last few minutes. We are building a team, there are no miracles. When you change nine people, you need time. This is the truth of life. It doesn't happen that easily.
- Iskhakov has been playing very effectively in the center in the last two matches. Will you keep him in this position or will you look at the situation?
- At the moment, of course, we will keep him. The partners also began to play better – both Afanasyev and Guryanov.
- Did you have any worries about Okulov?
- A lot of things happened. I had a one-on-one conversation with him yesterday. I told him: "Come on, tomorrow you start a new season, the first game. You will forget everything that happened, and everything that did or didn't work out. Tomorrow is the new season." Well, he scored twice today.
