Head Coach “Ak Barsa” Zinetula Bilyaletdinov explained why the team is struggling to win these last games, promising that in the future Kazan will try to knock on the door more often.
“Ak Bars” Monday on the shootings beat Novosibirsk “Siberia” (3:2) in the KHL Fonbet Championship away game. Until the middle of the second period, Kazan lost 0-2.
– We started by conceding a simple puck, losing concentration in front of goal. Then the opponent successfully played in the majority. But our team continued to play well. We added movement and aggression. Four times we played in the minority and survived, Bilyaletdinov told reporters.
– “Ak Bars” began to win, but the winnings are given to the team with great difficulty. Doesn’t it bother you that the “Leopards” don’t have any big-score wins yet?
— At the moment they’re not letting them score much, but the guys are trying… We have chances to convert chances and that’s important. We will try to score more in the future.
“Ak Bars” has six wins in the last seven meetings and takes seventh place in the KHL Eastern Conference standings.
