Defender of Moscow “Dynamo” Anton Malyshev in a conversation with a correspondent, he said that “Locomotive” changed a lot with the arrival of coach Igor Nikitin, becoming a stricter team.
On Thursday, Dynamo Moscow lost to Lokomotiv in the KHL Fonbet Championship home game (2-4). The Muscovites took the lead, but then conceded three goals in the second period and one in the third.
– Against teams such as Lokomotiv, you need to play as focused as possible, – said Malyshev. – If you do not improve somewhere, when the opponent begins to impose itself in the second period of the shift, then the maximum fatigue sets in.
– I was surprised that when the fight started at the end of the game, Yaroslavl players acted quite aggressively against you. Have they already forgotten that you played for Lokomotiv in past seasons?
– It’s a game, emotions should overflow, there’s nothing wrong with that. A little fight is normal for our sport.
– Has the Yaroslavl team changed a lot compared to last season?
– After the arrival of Igor Nikitin, Lokomotiv became a clearer and stricter team. Players do not step aside, they clearly fulfill the tactical task. In addition to dedication.
Is that why it is difficult to play against them?
– Very well. But remember how CSKA played when Nikitin was a coach there. We understand that very well. We have to improve and beat this opponent. There is nothing supernatural there.
Malyshev started his hockey career at Lokomotiv, but this summer he moved to Dynamo.
