Leonid Slutskiy: We didn't perform
— Absolutely deserved defeat, we didn't play well at all. There were moments when offensively we looked good. However, our movement and build up were poor. I wouldn't have been surprised if we played like this in our first pre season game against Sion, but we looked very good against the Swiss team and now after a few days off we were terrible. We'll analyse this performance and continue training hard in order to improve our game.
— Do you have any competitive goals in this tournament?
— We are always aiming for the better results, but in these matches the most important is to give game practice for all the players. We need to gain physical conditions.
— Why do you prefer to watch the game from the stand instead of the bench?
— View is better from there. In official matches there is no possibility to watch the game outside of the technical zone. But in the friendly games it's better to observe from higher view point.
