The Lokomotiv Kuban forward gave an interview to the club's press service before Game #4 of the semi-final series.
- What will be the most important thing in tomorrow's game?
- I think we need to keep the same attitude that we had in the previous game. The same speed, aggression and level of defense.
- But how to keep one's attitude? Are there some special exercises?
- No, it's still a mental component. For sure, it's very hard to do after good games, after victories, but this is the playoffs, you can't relax here. We must maintain this attitude, and we will try our best to do it.
- What can you say about the level of contact in Game #3?
- The level of contact is at the playoff level.
- Yesterday, from the first minutes, there was great pressure on Zenit once again. Is this the coaching instruction – to press from the first minutes?
- This is our idea, our principle – to press hard from the first minutes to the last. But, of course, yesterday the fans helped a lot. This atmosphere and our attitude – everything came together.
- Have we already seen the best from Lokomotiv or can you do better?
- I am sure that Lokomotiv can and will definitely show an even more interesting, tough and clever game.
