Oleg Bratash and Vladislav Sukhachyov talk about beating the Latvians

Russia-2 head coach Oleg Bratash:

- It's good that we aren't conceding goals, and the guys are playing with the correct mindset, despite not scoring as many goals as yesterday. They didn't give them opponents a chance to score a goal.

- Some lines are changing, while others are staying the same. Are you finding the right combinations?

- If you take into account the two Russian teams, we have eight lines, and we have to look over all candidates.

Russia-2 goaltender Vladislav Sukhachyov:

- I didn't have too many nerves about making my under 20 national team debut. I am very happy that we won, and the guys in front of me really helped me out. We dominated on the ice, and we didn't give the opponents a chance to score. Thanks to the players for this game.

- Did you notice the difference between the under 18 and under 20 levels?

- The pace is a bit quicker, and the shots are stronger. However, our opponents have been young, and I can't say that I have got used to this level yet.
