Moscow Coach “Dynamo” Alexei Kudashov jokingly promised to make a goalkeeper Ilya Konovalov field player.
On Thursday, Dynamo defeated Avtomobilist in the Fonbet KHL Championship home game with a score of 3:0. The gates of “blue and white” in the match with the leader of the Eastern Conference were defended by Konstantin Volkov.
“We played well from start to finish, both in defense and attack,” Kudashov said. – Except for the majority. Here we had problems.
– You beat Lokomotiv 2:0, then Torpedo – 6:4. And now they are back with “dry” victories. As a coach, do you enjoy these games more?
All of these matches are completely different. We also led Torpedo 5:2 and everything was calm there. I just had fun at the end. But in principle, the game was controlled.
– Today, Igumnov replaced the injured Lilja during the match. Suddenly, this trio made the match by scoring two goals. Does this indicate high interchangeability in your team?
– In fact, all players here can play with each other, both in their positions and in strangers. We often change the composition of the links and it is painless. The team understood our system, so it doesn’t matter who is playing with whom. The guys know what to do on the pitch. Luckily, Lily didn’t break anything serious.
“You have two strong guardians. Volkov has a cosmic reliability coefficient, Konovalov began to score goals… How to choose – who to declare at the gate for the next game?
“Kovalov will play on the field, since he scores,” Kudashov joked. – There is one goalkeeper left, you don’t have to choose.
Ilya Konovalov scored a goal in the last match against Torpedo. Konstantin Volkov has made his fifth “cracker” this season.
