21.08.2025

Neftekhimik player Vladislav Barulin talks with the media after a following 3–6 loss against Avangard.
– It was a hard–battled game. There were scoring chances and goals scored. You know, we are playing preseason games. We have some new players as well as a new coaching staff. There is still a lot of work to do – working on mistakes we made. Everyone tried hard, although our physical condition is not at its peak yet. I think everything will improve through hard work. Yeah, we lost, but it is good that we scored 3 goals. We need to improve in creating scoring chances, in scoring, and in playing defensively.
– Was it bad to concede 4th goal after powerplay?
– We failed the 5–on–3 powerplay. Of course, if you have a chance to score you should do it. Yes, this is a kind of game changer.
– What should Neftekhimik learn from this games?
– Stay positive, work on mistakes we made and keep working hard.
