Head Coach”Ak Barca » Oleg Znarok nervously took questions at the post-match press conference about why “Avant-garde (3:4) in the Fonbet home game of the KHL Championship.
Kazan bounced back from 0-2 and took the lead in the second period, but then conceded two more goals. Ak Bars leaders Alexander Radulov and Vadim Shipachev were not marked by productive actions at this meeting.
It’s a shame to lose such a game. We played well up front, created chances,” Znarok said. – Individual errors led to defeat.
– Ak Bars played very aggressively in the second period, but in the third period they gave the initiative to the opponent. Didn’t have enough strength?
– Not. We, on the contrary, played three lines in the end for half a period. If I felt the guys were in poor physical condition, I wouldn’t switch to a three-line game.
– Why didn’t Stanislav Galiev play today? asked a journalist from Kazan.
– Hurt.
– And when will he be ready to return to the team?
Do you want me to tell the press now? Give the adversary food for thought? There is a microtrauma. Aren’t the rest of you interested? Are there more injuries in the team?
– I was particularly interested in Galiev.
– Clear.
– It’s not the first time that Ak Bars conceded in the end with a draw. What is the reason?
– I have already said: an individual error. Ask the person who did it.
– I ask you.
“I didn’t make that mistake. We have seven defenders left in total, it’s very difficult to replace someone.
– Today, Ak Bars changed goalkeepers again. Aren’t you afraid it will affect the psychology of your keepers?
– We have a goalkeeping coach, he decides.
– This is a question for the entire coaching staff – through you.
– Through me? Now that I’m running away, I’ll ask him and come back here to answer you,” laughed Znarok. – Goalkeepers have their own psychology.
Was the second half the best for Ak Bars this season?
– We played well in attack today. These individual errors, which led to 0-2… The third and fourth goals too. And they played so well.
– There are too many such individual errors in every game.
There are no games without errors. You must insure your partner. One made a mistake, the other helped.
– To what extent are you satisfied with the game of the current Ak Bars?
— We can play much better if we don’t start the game with 0:2.
– A video has appeared on the Internet of you arguing with Radulov on the bench. What are your relationships?
– Well, what am I going to tell you now about the relationship with the players?
“The fans are worried about this.
– Let them not worry.
“Ak Bars” has been beaten in the last three matches, conceding a total of 14 goals.
