Gold winner of the 7th Winter Asian Games, Kazakhstan bandy players Vladislav Novozhilov who delivered four pucks to the Mongolian gates in the final, thinks that the victory was not won easily. - Despite there were only three teams participating in the tournament it is not right to say that victory was won easily. We wanted to win and we applied all efforts for that. - You missed two goals in the match versus Mongolia. Was it a mistake or did you want to give you opponent an easy time? - Neither. We do not pity on the rival and the missed goals were not serious faults. Those were penalty goals scored by the opponent. Participation in the Asian Games was a great experience for the players.
