Maxim Zinoviev: "Satisfied with the content of the game, but not the result"

— We are satisfied with the content of the game, but not with the result, we still wanted to go further to the semifinals. But, in fact, I have no complaints about any of the players, they did everything they were asked to do, played selflessly.

Yes, it was necessary, of course, to realize the chances that were at the beginning of the game, and in the second half there were good episodes. It is clear that we were up against a trained, attacking team, which itself knows how to create scoring episodes, but it is not sinless, including in defense.

Of course, I didn't want to bring it to a penalty shootout, but we made a small blemish in defense. In general, we played very reliably, so there is disappointment only from the result, but not from the quality of the game and even more so from the dedication of our girls.

Of course, the game will be an asset to us, although it is always better to learn from the winning experience than from defeats.
