Alikhan Omirbekov: "We need to rest and prepare for the game with Traktor”

Forward Alikhan Omirbekov, who made his debut for Barys today, summarized the results of the match with Lokomotiv.

- It feels great, I liked the game, very fast. A lot of struggle. The opponent was tough, played systematically, didn't give us too much space. They play very well with the body, they hold the puck. We played well, it's a pity we couldn't win.

- Today you played with Muratov and Shaykhmeddenov. Did you find a common language?

- With Batyrlan we already know how to play. With Ansar too, we've known each other since childhood. In principle, we played according to the same system, so everything is clear. Here we just need to do everything faster.

- We started well, forced the opponents to take penalties. Why did you lose the thread of the game?

- Perhaps they looked physically fresher, Lokomotiv had already played a couple of games earlier, they had gotten up to speed. They kept a high tempo almost the whole match. We are not ready for it yet. Now we need to rest and prepare for the game with Traktor.

- Last season you won the championship of Kazakhstan as part of Nomad, then played at the World Cup as part of the national team. What goals do you set for yourself in the new period?

- I need to establish myself in the main lineup of Barys and bring the team maximum benefit. We need to at least make the playoffs.
