Metallurg - Barys. Trainer's comments

After the match Barys – Metallurg (2:0) a press conference was held with the Head Trainers of both teams.

Galym Mambetaliyev, Acting Barys Head Trainer

- We lacked our dedication, attitude for the game, just from the first to the last second, and that was the result. It's all about giving yourself to the game.

- We saw what happened at your place in Chelyabinsk, Anthony Camara's unfortunate debut, is he disqualified or did you send him in on your own?

- No, they let him rest, think about it. He'll be practicing now, and then continue to play.

- To what extent, in your opinion, has Daniil Apalkov adapted yet?

- Not yet, but is benefiting, certainly he lacks movement, I think he will benefit.

- How hard is it for you right now to get your players adjusted to what you said in the commentary. That you need to give yourself fully, it seems that not always and not everyone is able to turn on normally. Is that what you work with and how much? Somewhere between matches, it's individualized.

- We are discussing, yes, adjusting, we are watching trainings, who is better conditioned, and we try and nominate for the game, who have more, such, reliable players.

Andrei Razin, Metallurg Head Trainer

- We had a long flight, played every other day. The guys were a bit "frozen", it was hard to get the emotions out. It was good that the defense played strict, reliable and disciplined. We wanted to score more, but I think the audience will forgive us - we tried today. Victory for us.

- Is everyone who came out of the injured list 100 percent ready, or did you have to take someone out earlier?

- No, our bench now allows the guys to completely heal their injuries and prepare for a hundred percent.

- Is it a longstanding idea that Grebyonkin moved to Korobkin and Johnson? For some reason you would immediately expect something from this line....

- Not at once, but, firstly, in Novosibirsk we didn't do well in the second period, and instead of Koshelev I tried Akolzin, I didn't want to split the first five. Then we returned to Magnitogorsk. Nikita Grebyonkin has been a bit out of sorts in recent matches, we wanted to support him a bit, plus Semyon Koshelev is not in the best shape, so we came to this decision.
