Head Coach”locomotive » Igor Nikitin after a home defeat in a game with Avtomobilist, he criticized his team for their lack of energy.
On Sunday, Lokomotiv lost to Avtomobilist in the KHL Championship Fonbet home game with the score 0:1.
“We couldn’t break the Avtomobilist protection,” a correspondent quoted Nikitin as saying. “Although ‘couldn’t’ is the wrong word, rather they didn’t want to sacrifice themselves. It’s hard to win if you’re hoping for a giveaway. The opponent played against us in an organized way in defence. We had needed energy, but today we had none, hence the result.
— It was not the first time that Lokomotiv had an uncertain match against a strong opponent. What is the problem?
You don’t need to be clairvoyant here. We fight against that, there are changes. But sometimes we revert to old habits. Today didn’t create any problems for the goalkeeper.
Lokomotiv is second in the KHL Western Conference table with 76 points.
