Forward of the Moscow “Dynamo” Ivan Muranov in a conversation with , he said that the right tactics helped the team defeat capital city CSKA in the Fonbet KHL Championship match.
The Saturday “Dynamo” beat on penalties CSKA with a score of 2:1 in the KHL home game. Muranov could have brought victory for the Whites and Blues in extra time, when the army team replaced the goalkeeper with an outfield player and the Dynamo team ran away in a 2-man counterattack against 1.
– I did not throw, because right in front of me was a CSKA player, and Efremov was one and a half meters further. In such a situation, I had to pass – it’s the law of hockey. And then the army striker jumped on Vlad. And he failed to make me a quality transfer. Even before that, we had a moment to end the game in extra time, but Kiryuha Gotovets didn’t hit the goal there, Muranov told .
– Why do Dynamo and CSKA always have such close matches this season?
– It’s a derby! We have any match with CSKA of the knife goes. Before any mistake, that’s why we always have it like this with them. It doesn’t matter how many people are hurt with us and with them.
– This time there was also a difficult league schedule against you – CSKA had more rest.
– Yes, it was obvious in the first half. Until the army team got hooked, it was hard to play. They came into our zone and chased the puck for 40 to 50 seconds, and we defended. Only at the end of the second period, when CSKA sat down, another game started.
– Is that why dangerous moments at Dynamo only started to appear in the second half of the match?
‘Yes, but we knew it would be so. The coaches warned that CSKA would fly forward and we had to play on the counter-attacks, as we have always played before.
The Dynamo are third in the KHL Western Conference standings. On January 25, the White-Blues will play away with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg. The match will be broadcast on the KHL channel, starting at 4:45 p.m.
