Neftekhimik forward Ivan Nikolishin speaks with the media after a following 4–2 win over Admiral.
– It was a good game, double-edged. It’s good that we were able to return to the game and score such important goals for us. Thank you to the fans, they are wonderful, thank you for driving us forward. With such support, we couldn’t play any other way.– What part of the game was a key one?
– I think that the first goal, when we scored, was the turning point of the game.
– All three periods we attacked, pressed, but only in the third period we managed to get a nadvantage.
– Probably, the dedication helped us . Also, faith is faith in the result and in what we are doing. We followed our line and I think this brought us success. The third period turned out to be fiery. Here, I’ll tell you a little more. We just played the same way and tried to get even more into the opponent’s goal, get the puck there, and hence the result.
