Valery Nichushkin: We should not be afraid of Ak Bars – they should be afraid of us.

Did you think that you caught the vibe of the game extremely well tonight?
I don’t know; I was just playing my game.

Did you try to imitate the goal that won bronze medals for U-20 team Russia tonight?
Yes, both coaches and teammates say that I have to create pressure in the attacking zone because that’s my job as a forward.

Were you somewhat afraid of the renowned opponents?
Traktor is a very strong team. I think we should not be afraid of Ak Bars or any team for that matter; they should be afraid of us.
