Defender of "Traktor-2006" Maxim Shumakov:
We played harmoniously today, the team was like one fist. Due to this, it turned out to defeat "Barys". They also have a good team, but we turned out to be stronger. Yesterday we lost offensively in the quarterfinals, but we tried to forget the failure. We went out with the mood as if life had begun anew.
The guys played well. Of course, you always want more, so after the offensive defeat from Avtomobilist, the mood was not the same as before. I tried to explain to the guys that life doesn't end there. It seems to have worked out. When winning 4: 0, we conceded two goals in a row, we had to give an additional shake-up, after that everything went better and more fun.

We played well today, everyone is happy. From the first minutes they began to put pressure on the opponent, as the coach said. Our team showed solidarity and teamwork, due to this, and won. I liked everything at the tournament, it's a shame that we took only fifth place.
Head coach of Traktor-2006 Oleg Betz:
The guys got together and tuned in correctly, we didn't want to lose. I think it's a little unfair that we won 4 victories, lost once in shootouts, and as a result we do not participate in the fight for prizes. In the third period, we relaxed, leading the score 4: 0, and therefore conceded two goals in five minutes. In general, I am pleased with how our team played the tournament.
