Head Coach”locomotive » Igor Nikitin after the victory over Minsk “Dynamo ” (1:0) explained why the game was played at low speed.
The gates of Yaroslavl were defended by Ivan Bocharov, who repelled 26 shots. The only goal was scored by 21-year-old striker Maxim Berezkin.
“Due to the difficult schedule of the championship, the guys have activated the self-preservation mode,” said Nikitin. Something has to happen to wake them up. Kicking someone or scoring a goal. Here Dynamo created a few chances, and after that we joined the game. I won’t say that we accepted the opponent’s game. But at first they did not overcome each other to change it.
– The transfer of Berezkin to the link to Shalunov strengthened this trio. Will Maxim play there in the future?
– We try to play in four lines so that Andronov and Shalunov have adult partners. Young guys join these three, bring energy, but experienced guys stabilize the game. Today the new option worked, but it doesn’t always work. We keep looking. There is no more mathematics, but no more framing intuition. Today we felt that Maxim can work in this bond. Next – let’s see.
– When will Chekhovich and Averin return to duty?
– Averin returned from Germany today after the operation. We hope he will return to the playoffs. But Vanka is already training with the general group. We hope that in the next matches he will appear in the team.
Lokomotiv did not allow their opponents to hit their own goal in two matches in a row, on October 28, Nikitin’s team beat Torpedo sharply (2-0).
