hockey playersSiberia “have a good functional state, create a lot of chances, but they lack the skills to concretize them, estimates the ex-coach”Avant-garde » Sergei Gersonsky .
Avangard leads the series with Sibir in the first round of the Gagarin Cup – 3-1. The teams’ fifth game will take place on Friday in Omsk.
– “Siberia” makes “Avangard” throw so little or Omsk players deliberately play this kind of hockey? I guess Sibir has a pretty good functional condition, moves well, creates plenty of chances. But there are not enough skills to implement them. By the fourth game, they’ve had enough shots and the quality is starting to fade. Why is it? Against the background of fatigue, it is not so easy to make the right decision and implement it. With a good functional condition, a technical training allows to be efficient. If a small background of fatigue appears, the quality begins to be lost – both in decision-making and in execution skills.
I think the coaching staff at Avangard also weighed the pros and cons, realized that the marathon is very long if they want to reach the final games of the playoffs, and for that they have to play very rational. They try to use the mistakes of the opponent without activating their actions and play to score. With the score 0:0, the activity of actions was, a goal was scored, and the activity decreased somewhat – they were waiting for the opportunity to use the moment and score a goal. Tactics are chosen depending on the opponent, depending on his condition and depending on the result of the match. They look at the scoreboard more often in order to intensify their actions somewhere in the opponent’s area, in order to use the leaders more, because during the break there is enough time for their recovery. Flexibility, cunning have a right to life. And so far, Avangard’s performance has been higher.
How will the situation evolve? It is a very serious situation. I had to be in such a situation, to be honest, it’s not easy to get out of it. Avangard understood what brings success, they can play strict-strict-strict for a long time, score a goal somewhere, use an error,” Gersonsky told The Championship.
