— In the second half, when they started to play tougher defense and fast in attack, we caught the game and found the attack, we were looking for. Oguchi got their shots, Delaney appeared in versions for passes, successfully entered the game Syrovatko, but first of all we have become more aggressive in defense, helping each other, and I think that\’s what decided the match. Once again I want to congratulate the guys and our fans with an important victory that allowed to come to good emotional wave to the «Final Four» of the Russian Cup!
