Chelyabinsk coach “Tractor” Anvar Gatiyatulin thinks his team played the wrong defense in the Fonbet Championship game KHL With “Sochi” .
The meeting was held in Sochi on Wednesday and ended with the score 4-3 in favor of the Chelyabinsk team. For the Sochi team, this is the eighth consecutive defeat.
– A difficult match, the first period was interesting, the second was slightly corrected. They emphasized that they were playing correctly in the attacking zone in order to rule out counterattacks. The guys heard us. We played well, today the special teams were successfully involved. Created a moment, marked, earned. Today was important to win. We are happy with this victory, I am grateful to the team for the game. And of course our fans, as always, have been very supportive of us, thanks to them for their support,” Gatiyatulin said at a press conference.
— Why was Alexei Melnichuk chosen as the main goalkeeper?
– There was a plan. The previous game was played by Ilya Proskuryakov, but here they planned in advance what Alexey would play. He jumped, worried, but the urge was great. It makes no sense to make claims against him. We played badly in defense, missed counterattacks. The adversary took advantage of this. Alexey is in good physical shape with great desire, we’ll keep thinking who happens next.
– How satisfied are you with Sergei Shumakov, who, it seemed, lacked physical form in the first matches?
– It is clear that it is not easy to leave without pre-season. It’s not just about him. Adam Almqvist has yet to reach his level either. But they win through games, through training. You can see that Sergei is improving from game to game. He himself is happy to have scored today and we are happy, especially since the goal turned out to be a winner.
— Will the fate of Andrew Hammon wait for Almqvist and Pulkkinen?
– The club’s commentary was already about Hammon’s story. I said it before about Adam, it’s not easy to come out without a pre-season, especially with such a schedule. He gives matches at his level, through the matches he will put in shape. Teemu is one of our top scorers, there are no questions for him.
