The Head Coach”Ak Barca » Zinetula Bilyaletdinov spoke about the team’s preparation for the new KHL season, and also shared his impressions of the play of some newcomers to the team.
– Are you satisfied with everything in terms of the design of the game?
Everything was clear to me. Those things that I didn’t like, I understood why they were happening. We fixed them. The last game was a bit disappointing. So many questions have arisen that now, during this time, they need to be corrected.
– How can you explain the reasons why Damir Zhafyarov is not the most brilliant player?
– I spoke to him the day before, asked the same questions. What state is he in, how he feels, comfortable, not comfortable. Everything is fine with him, everything is fine. Maybe he needs more time to be able to play the way he knows how to play.
– Is Evgeny Svechnikov an attacker under the top 6, for the majority or for the minority?
– First I want to see what it is, now I study it. And when I put it in a link, I’ll see what qualities it has more, I’ll use it as best I can.
– Many praise the throwing of Evgeny Svechnikov? How would you rate his actions?
– He trained with the team only today. And so it was with two or three players. Although he is not in very good shape. The throw is noticeable – throws sharply, accurately. And we will see the game thinking in the matches, we have to wait.
– Artur Akhtyamov played two matches. How is it for you?
– I like. Good stable, confident goalkeeper. I think he can be a serious competitor in the goalkeeping team,” the Ak Bars press service quoted the coach as saying.
The new KHL season kicks off on September 1 with the opening Cup game between CSKA and Ak Bars.
