Head Coach “Metallurgist” Ilya Vorobiev called the main reason for the defeat in the match with “Locomotive” good defensive game.
On Thursday, Metallurg lost to Lokomotiv in Fonbet’s away match in the KHL Championship (1:4). This is the Eastern Conference leader’s second straight defeat in matches with Western clubs.
“We missed two in the minority and one more,” Vorobyov told reporters. – Then Lokomotiv began to defend competently and it was already difficult to escape, despite the changes made.
– You already have two consecutive defeats 1:4 – of Dynamo and Lokomotiv. What do they have in common?
– Check. We need to score more ourselves and improve the game in uneven lineups. Lokomotiv and Dynamo are strong teams. In matches with them, you have to climb the door more.
– In the context of Lokomotiv, your team looked good today. Is this some kind of recession?
– There is a slight drop, once you lose two. You do what your opponent allows you to do on the ice. Lokomotiv didn’t let us do anything today. Now, if we had scored first, everything would have been different. And so we rested all the time against the wall, which the people of Yaroslavl put in front of us.
Despite two losses, Metallurg continues to lead the Eastern Conference standings with 37 points.
