Well-known hockey official and expert Leonid Weisfeld talked about the tournament situation he was in”AK bars this season, and the future of the head coach Oleg Znarka in the Kazan team.
Ak Bars have lost five of their last six matches and have dropped to eighth in the standings.
– Oleg Znarok, after yesterday’s loss to Sibir, said that Ak Bars are playing better every game. Do you notice it?
— Personally, I don’t see any signs that the team is recovering. On the contrary, judging by certain circumstances, the problems are aggravated. Things are getting worse for Ak Bars.
– Do you mean the sudden departure from the team location of striker Alexander Burmistrov, which, according to rumors, happened due to a conflict with the head coach?
– Sure. It must be taken into account here that Ak Bars has always been a very closed organization, in which there have never been any public scandals. And now the residents of Kazan almost every week offer some kind of high-profile news occasion.
– Do you agree that Znark can be eliminated after the defeat of Barys?
– Previously, the Kazan club had never changed coaches in the middle of the season. But there is a first time for everything. In general, if we talk about Ak Bars, it is very difficult to guess whether Znark will be removed, who may be asked to replace him. It’s a very specific club, I don’t even know who makes such responsible decisions there and at what level?
Oleg Znarok led Ak Bars last summer, now the team is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, 14 points behind Avtomobilist.
