CSKA Moscow coach Sergei Fedorov said that the team is familiar with the style of play of Yaroslavl Lokomotiv, however, the red-blues need to increase their concentration and attention to the execution of elements.
In the first round of the KHL playoffs, CSKA defeated Severstal Cherepovets – 4-3. The series with Lokomotiv begins on March 17 in Moscow.
— We had a day off after the series with Severstal. We are preparing as usual, the atmosphere is good. Victories give us strength. Lokomotiv are a familiar opponent for us, we know their style of play.
Guys already understand that missing a lot is the wrong tendency. Nevertheless, the series with Severstal turned out as it did. We pay attention to it, constantly remembering some fundamental things that help us play in defense and in the middle zone. Let’s start from the fact that we need to tighten our concentration and our attention to the execution of the elements that will help us play more solidly in defense.
Full stands are a very positive factor. It is customary for all hockey players to play in full bleachers, especially when they are supporting you. It’s cool. Our task is to support the victorious aura that our fans give,” the CSKA press service quoted Fedorov as saying.
