Head Coach “Ak Barsa” Oleg Znarok talked about the state of the team after the defeat of “Salavat Yulayev” .
On Wednesday, Ak Bars lost to Salavat Yulaev (1:4) in Fonbet’s away match of the KHL Championship. This defeat was the ninth for the Kazan team in the last ten meetings. A source close to the club said Znark was not threatened with dismissal but “they could take refuge in the squad”.
“We were disappointed with unnecessary moves,” said Oleg Znarok. It’s hard to win a game with just one goal.
– What is the reason for unnecessary deletions in your team?
– Emotions. I fought for the puck, I put the stick, two minutes.
– And the objectives? You have such masters in your list and you are a well-known coach-motivator! Why can’t they throw?
– I find it difficult to answer.
– Ak Bars has another loss. The team is in crisis. Do you see the way – how to get out?
Yes, we are trying to resolve the situation. It looks like the team has already become better in terms of movement.
– What is the atmosphere in the dressing room of Kazan following a series of defeats?
– Naturally, unhappy. But the guys are not discouraged.
– You have nine defeats in ten matches. Do you have intrusive thoughts about retirement?
“I have no such thoughts.
Before joining Ak Bars, Oleg Znarok won the Gagarin Cup three times – twice with Dynamo Moscow and once with SKA.
