Russian coach Vladimir Krikunov in a conversation with “” said the captain “Ak Barca » Alexander Radulov has a positive effect on Kazan players.

– Both teams are equal, but I think Ak Bars will start the series better. Avangard sat without playing for too long. And Kazan had time to play and relax normally. Ak Bars tone is better now, they will be livelier. And in general, it seemed to me that in the series with Admiral, Kazan felt his strength. Before that, they played incomprehensibly. And then they got to work for real, scattered. In theory, Ak Bars should win this series. Although – they mark a little.
– Radulov scores normally. And why has Shipachev gone a bit into the shadows?
– Maybe Vadik wouldn’t stand the competition? Two such masters in a team are always cramped. And Radulov is great, he clearly keeps the team, he doesn’t let anyone fall asleep,” Krikunov told .
Radulov is Ak Bars’ top scorer in the playoffs. He has 11 (7+4) points.
