Ilya Vorobyov: "It was a high level match today"

- SKA lost the first period.

- We allowed Jokerit to counterattack after faceoffs. Nevertheless, later on, the guys improved. It's good that before the KHL and the match against Kazan we played such a tough opponent. It was a physical match for pre-season.

- Are you satisfied with the work undertaken in the pre-season?

- To be honest, I think that pre-season is only summarised in Russia. No other country does this. Yes, everything's great, but this is the pre-season.

- Is it nice that players like Viktor Tikhonov are scoring?

- The guys did a great job, they're working hard.

- In terms of emotions, it was a KHL match. How about the level of play?

- It was a high level game in all aspects.

- How many days rest will the players receive?

- There will be one rest day but the players can train if they wish. That's our business.
