Head Coach “Salavat Yulayev” Viktor Kozlov after losing the match against Metallurgist said he was happy with the way the young players replaced the legionnaires who left the club in the squad.
On Wednesday, Salavat Yulaev lost to Metallurg in the KHL Fonbet Championship away match (1:2). At the same time, the guests made twice as many shots on target, and in the first half the judges canceled the goal of the Ufa team.
“I’m happy with the way the team played today,” Kozlov told reporters. — There were a lot of young people in the team against a very serious opponent. But I liked the way the players fought and worked until the end. We are in the so-called hole, but today we have taken a step forward to get out of this hole. I am proud of my players.
– Salavat started the match very actively. Have you thought about playing number two?
– If you backtrack while playing Magnitogorsk, there will be many masters in his list who can understand him in our area. Also, we now have a lot of young players in the squad who are moving well. Therefore, we decided to bet on the attack.
– Compared to previous seasons, Salavat very rarely manages to get out of matches with 0:2 or 0:3, although it worked before. What do you associate it with?
“Our team has completely changed. Now there are no more legionnaires from Finland and Sweden, who were part of the squad in previous seasons. We go to games at the expense of our own resources – with our young people developing and fighting.
Salavat Yulaev has already suffered six straight defeats. Ufimtsev dropped to fifth in the KHL Eastern Conference.
