Matvei Michkov: "We're just getting started"

6 September 2021

HC SKA forward Matvei Michkov:

- I feel great, we won the match but we already need to move on. We have to improve with every passing game, we're just getting started.

- Did Admiral allow SKA to play so freely?

- Admiral are a good team, but things didn't go their way. We took advantage of this.

- Say something about your two goals.

- My teammates put a wonderful play together for my first goal, I simply needed to hit the empty net. Fredrik Handemark blocked the goalkeeper's view really well for my second, I managed to shoot the puck high into the goal.

- Did you like the fans' support today? They seemed to cheer your goals even louder!

- Thank you to them for the support, they help us play well. It's a shame that the Ice Palace can't be full as a consequence of the restrictions, but thank you to everyone who comes to the arena.

- Did you take both pucks for your two goals?

- No, I only took the first. The emotions in the KHL are different in comparison to pre-season, it's even nicer to score.

- Weren't you afraid that Admiral's players were going to start playing dirty against you in the closing stages, taking into account the large score?

- No, I played as I normally do. You have to be ready for anything on the ice.

- Will you give the puck to your parents?

- Yes, I think I will.
