Press-conference

Head coach of the Donetsk "Donbass-2" Oleg Mikulchik about victory over the Kiev "Sokol" - 3:2.

- I thought that our mindset to win the game today, because there was nowhere to retreat. If we lost to the "Sokol" today, then it was not a chance to caught up with the Kiev team in the regular championship. After today's victory it is possible to catch up and overtake the leader in the standings. We hope that the "Berkut" will take away points from them - I very want it. Today guys has had a good mood and dedication. Today they worked great. I am pleased with all the players, including those who returned from the national team. Goalkeeper Napnenko played well today. Well done. Thank you all guys.

Head Coach of the Kiev "Sokol" Alexander Godynyuk about losing of his team to the Donetsk "Donbas-2" in the regular championship of Ukraine - 2:3

- We did not have the luck today. We have created a lot of scoring chances, controlled the puck in the zone of the opponent. There are games when there is not sharpness with shots. Today there were shots, and sharpness. Not our day today was. Individual errors of players have broken the game. But on the whole, team is good. Rival good used our mistakes, and therefore we have such an account.

- Maybe you've lost due to the fact that you have not prepared "Sokol" for today's fight, you were with the youth national team?

- If only today we was played poorly and has failed the match, then you can talk about it. I'm pleased with how the team was prepared. Some players were tired after the performances in the national teams, but it is not in any way affected on the quality of the game.
