Kazakhstani head coach, Michal Bilek, commented on the match against Russia.

- We understood that our rivals were strong and that we would have to defend a lot, so we tried to play more in defense. It turned out to play according to plan, so the opponent had almost no chances to score. We failed with that one piece-set. 

- There were five changes in the starting lineup. Can you rate the game of the young players?

- The changes in our squad were also planned, because in the previous match, the players left a lot of strength. All the players who took the field in the starting lineup proved their skills. Abiken, who played his first match for the national team against such a strong opponent, did his best. He and all the other players did their best.

- Please give an assessment of the stadium. And did the rainy weather affect the game?

- Everything was great. The atmosphere created by the fans at the stadium was great. We gained a positive experience. The turf, despite yesterday's rain, was also quite good.
