Lokomotiv head coach Igor Nikitin – a demanding but not strict specialist, he allows you to reveal your strengths, believes the striker of the Yaroslavl team Alexander Polunin .
– First of all, your own concentration and the use of your strengths are important. You get skills and experience from everything. For example, how to play skillfully in defense, you also need to know how. If you work on defense and score goals, then you are a good hockey player. I wouldn’t say that Igor Valeryevich is strict, he’s just demanding. It’s not just that the coaching staff tells us how and what to do,” Polunin told The Championship.
Polunin has played 62 games this season, scoring 16 goals and providing six assists.
