Vladislav Barulin: «It was a hard–battled game»

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.
