Jussi Tapola postgame interview over Astana Barys

12 December 2018

Reporter: What's you opinion about this game?

Jussi Tapola: We are struggling right now with traveling. It was a hard road trip for us. The roster, we have a lot of important players out of the roster right now. The most important thing now is to find a way. We’ll have the rest of the week, we are not playing and again start playing next week. And now it’s time for our team to find a way to get back on the winning track.

Reporter: We have 11 players in the last 2 games, we lost many good players, could you talk about this situation?

Jussi Tapola: Well, it’s simple situation that we expected today, but then today Fontain couldn’t play and that’s why we only have 11. Our roster is not so full, and we can call some players from VHL. Hopefully we get those guys back now during these 4 days. And they’re back to the roster next week.

Repoter: Qianyi is coming to Shanghai from VHL. Any reasons?

Jussi Tapola: He’s a young player so we can get one extra on the roster, he has played well and he brings a lot of energy that we need during the season.
