Head Coach “Siberia” Andrei Martyanov after the victory over Ak Bars, said that Oleg Znarok – a strong person who will find a way out of a difficult situation.
On Monday, Sibir defeated Ak Bars in the KHL Fonbet Championship home game (4:2). Novosibirsk conceded two early goals but then managed to bounce back quickly and take the lead.
– A difficult and controversial match, we met a very powerful team that has many well-known masters in attack, – said Martemyanov. – We were able to oppose them with a clear defense, there were enough blocked shots, and play on the counterattacks. Today, most of us have done well. The guys fought to the end, coming out of themselves from emotions. Although ten games in twenty days is simply unrealistic. But the guys endure, and I’m grateful to them. The composition is truncated, diseases, injuries, viruses are incomprehensible. Thank you for giving all your strength and soul for the sake of the fans who supported us chic.
– Is this the most difficult game of the last five games?
— The opponent was heavily loaded, he came towards us for the points. But we also need them.
– Where did Sibir find the strength for the third period? Ilya Bryzgalov once said of a similar situation: “They jumped like gorillas out of a cage.”
– Before that, we went to martial arts and lost them. Here something changed and simplified the game. They threw from any position. I haven’t heard of gorillas. We have men in the team.
– You know Znark since you played together for the junior team. What’s going on with his Ak Bars now? Maybe you can give some friendly advice?
We were and remain friends. Znarok found himself in a difficult situation, but he is an experienced coach, a persistent person, a man. Oleg has character and he will come out of this situation with honor. And I can’t give him advice.
Thanks to this victory, Sibir took third place in the KHL Eastern Conference. Ak Bars ranks eighth in the East.
