Konstantin Panov: good thing we battled until end

What did Traktor lack to catch Avangard tonight?
It’s a tough question to answer. We need to analyze the game later. I think the second period was awful for us. It’s great that we found the strength to get back into the game, but along came the fourth goal. But nonetheless, fighting until the end is a positive thing.

Next two games are of huge importance for the team.
Any game is important for us, whether it’s home or away game. We prepare ourselves for every match. I think it’s all going to be fine.

How is the team feeling right now?
We are feeling fine. Everyone is working for the benefit of the team, knowing that right now Traktor is not where it is supposed to be in league standings. Everyone works really hard, but something is missing. I hope this is only a matter of time.
