Neftekhimik player Artyom Serikov talks with the media after a following 2–3 loss against Severstal.
– How would you rate the way your team played?
– It was a good game, two equal opponents in terms of style of play. But in some places they were luckier, they had more goal–scoring chances, they were more successful. Then we tied the score up and conceded a goal at the end.
– Why the team did not win?
– There simply was not enough time. In principle, there was a chance, a one–on–one breakaway, we could have scored and won.
– In some moments it seemed that we could have shot early, but the team tried to play for sure.
– It is preseason for now. It is clear that the goal is to score, to win, but there is always a desire to give an accurate pass to someone who is in a more advantageous position.
