Offensive S.K.A. Marat Khairullin in an interview with a correspondent, he explained the team’s unfortunate result in the game with “locomotive “, and also called the Yaroslavl club one of the main rivals of St. Petersburg this season.
SKA lost at home against Lokomotiv Yaroslavl (1:2 OT) in the Fonbet game of the KHL Championship. The St. Petersburg club still sits first in the Western Conference with 57 points.
– What is the reason for the low number of goals in the regular game time?
– We played against a very strong opponent who works well in defence. We have already managed to study each other during the season. In the third period, we put them under pressure, we could win. We didn’t have enough.
— As the season progressed, can you say that Lokomotiv have become stronger?
“They always play well, always in the top five teams. They have a good coach, good players. All teams have downfalls. This year’s championship is difficult, it is impossible to always win.
– With which team are the most difficult matches this season? Who can be called the main rival?
– Think, CSKA “Locomotive”, “Dynamo are our main competitors, with them there are always difficult matches. Yes, and in the Eastern Conference there are strong teams. In principle, there are no overtaking meetings, the teams have capped, it’s more interesting to play. All games are dice versus dice,” Khairullin told .
