Interviews after the Four Nations match against Finland

Interviews were taken after the Four Nations match against Finland in Slovakia:

Russia U20 head coach Valery Bragin:

- It was an even game, but Finland took their chances and we didn't. The reasons behind this? You can call it bad luck. We hit the post four times and the Finnish goalkeeper played well. However, there are other components which need to be improved. Let's see how the next two matches go. 

Russia U20 captain Yegor Zaitsev:

- The opponents were better at scoring than us. We could have scored more than just one goal. We had a huge desire to get back in the game during the third period, however we ended up conceding on the counterattack. When we did score, there was too little time remaining. The coaches want more from us. We need to commit less mistakes and be more aggressive in attack. We have two matches left to put things right.
