The Avangard hockey player responded to Barys's crushing defeat in the KHL.

The forward of Omsk's “Avangard”, Nail Yakupov, shared his impressions of the game in an interview with Om1 following the KHL match against Astana's “Barys” (5:1), as reported by Sports.kz.

“It was a good start. Despite how we began previous games, it was important to start well today. We did what was necessary, and that led to the final result.

Are there many injuries in the team? Unfortunately, we cannot prevent them; they have already happened. There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s a pity. It seems we had a lot of players available. Now we have... But the objective doesn’t change because of that. We are all prepared for the fact that we still need to play. We have a tough away game ahead, and the teams will become more serious and serious. Therefore, we just have to impose our game, no matter what. We will take it game by game, regardless of what is happening now,” Yakupov stated.
