hockey players “Ak Barsa” understand the situation the team is in and are ready to work to correct mistakes, says Kazan head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov .
On Wednesday, Ak Bars defeated in the KHL regular season game Severstal in extra time with the score 2:1.
— The opponent was very mobile today, he beat us in speed. Because of that, we made mistakes – backed off early, we didn’t follow the puck. The most important thing is that the winners. Everything else will be fixed. Any victory brings confidence. We understand the situation we are in, what we need to work on. No matter how difficult it is for us, the guys try and I’m very happy that there is understanding from the players. It’s essential. Let’s settle our affairs,” Bilyaletdinov told a news conference.
– There was no Voronkov, Zhuravlev … What happened to them?
– I can say in one word – they get sick.
– Voinov – double after returning. How would you rate his game?
– Probably good. Scored two goals! He is a good level hockey player. Most, when he wasn’t around, were a little different. It was difficult to find someone to take his place. The fact that he has recovered and is playing in the majority is great. In general, he is a very good player.
Bilyaletdinov took over as head coach of Ak Bars at the end of December 2022.
