Neftekhimik forward Rafael Bikmullin speaks with the media after a following 3–0 win over Sibir.
– When Yevgeny Mityakin handed you the best player hat, he mentioned “a lot of dirty work.” What does that mean?– Thanks a lot for the hard hat. Honestly, I’d credit the whole team for today’s win. There were plenty of guys doing the dirty work – not just me. Everyone worked like a well-oiled machine; it’s wins like this that really bond the team and build confidence.
– You mentioned that you dedicated the win to your father. Could you tell us about that?
– It’s his birthday today. It was a special day for me. It was a tough night, and a tough day, too – I had a lot on my mind. I am glad we managed to win today. I think he would have been really happy about the victory and the team.
