Salavat Yulaev head coach Viktor Kozlov praised the play of the Ufa club in the fourth game of the first round of the KHL playoff series with the Admiral.
The meeting in Vladivostok ended in victory for the guests with a minimum score of 1:0 (0:0, 0:0, 1:0).
– A tense match, like all matches against Admiral. The guys are great. They played well in defense and attack. We scored an important goal, closed the goalkeeper, well launched. The streak continues, getting ready for the next game.
– It seemed like you were a bit lost at the start of the game. What influenced the flight?
– No. The game was so nervous. The puck popped and popped. “Admiral” makes sure the puck always jumps, they use their “parachutes”. But we got away with it.
– Why was there no Pustozerov?
“Today we decided that Ho-Sang and Sannikov would play. The guys weren’t in the squad, but everyone is getting ready for the games. We’ll go home and see who comes out on the ice.
– Do you have any questions about discipline for the team?
– There are no discipline problems.
– How does Yezhov feel when they don’t shoot for his goal?
– It’s not simple. We understand Ilya. But it’s better to ask him.
– No desire to try Ho-Sang in another line?
“They created moments. The second link also looked good.
Was the decision in favor of Yezhov difficult?
“There was no hard decision,” Kozlov told the club’s official website.
The score of the series up to four wins became equal – 2-2. The fifth game will take place in Ufa on March 9. Watch the match live on the federal channel and on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites from 4:45 p.m. Moscow time.
