Valery Bragin speaks after beating Neftekhimik

SKA head coach Valery Bragin:

- We expected this to be a tough match, Neftekhimik are a young, aggressive team with plenty of desire. Yes, it's good that we won and managed to take a decisive 2:0 lead, but there are problems.

- Are you satisfied with SKA's performance?

- At times we played well, but there were more negative than positive moments.

- Why did SKA make so many technical errors?

- This has to change, our shift changes need to be better. We will work on these aspects of the game.

- There weren't many fans inside the stadium. What did you think of the atmosphere?

- I felt the support of the fans. Of course, it's better when the arenas are full, but I can't say that it had an effect. The main thing is that ice hockey is back in our country again.

- Bogdan Yakimov, who came through the Neftekhimik system, is now on your roster. When will he play?

- I think that you will see him in the next match.

- What do you think about these online interviews?

- This is our reality at the moment.
