Goalie HC Sochi Mikhail Berdin told that he was tired of suffering defeats and was not ready to take them.
On Saturday, Sochi hockey players lost to Dynamo Moscow in the Fonbet KHL championship with a score of 0:4. The Black Sea team scored 2 points in four starting rounds.
– What can you say? Lost. Disappointed. I’m not the type of person to put up with that. It’s hard for me. I will continue to work through gritted teeth. I don’t want to lose anymore. I’m tired of.
— What is the difference compared to the match in Kazan, where you won (3:1, the match took place on September 6 — Editor’s note)?
— We scored against Ak Bars using our chances. The team worked hard, each player gave their all on the ice. Thanks to this, we won. Somehow, “Ak Bars” came out out of tune.
— In the match against Dynamo, there was an episode when you locked the opposing striker Eric O’Dell in your own goal and did not let him out. Is this an element of the show or something else?
— My style was a bit dirty in North America. Now I’m trying to get away from him. There are a few moments left, but I try not to do that and play cleanly. The goal is to catch pucks and not overdo it. I try to avoid powerful movements and play less with a stick.
— Is 42 rescues far from your personal best?
– I do not care. 0:4, that’s all we can say about today’s match.
— From the outside, it seems that you have become calmer on the field and react less to what is happening…
– Yes, such a thing exists. There is more self-confidence and composure. I’m working on myself. When you work at 100% every day, you get that confidence and calm.
— You played all the matches at the start of the season, it’s a decent load. How do you perceive this?
“I don’t take it for granted.” Thanks to the coaches for giving me a place in goal. I try to eat right after the match, get enough sleep and follow recovery procedures. All this in order to be one hundred percent ready for the next match.
— Is eating well what Igor Larionov (head coach of Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod — editor’s note) talked about at a memorable press conference?
— Besides, I also look at his advice. I like. I recently watched a video where they explained why you should give up sugar and cola. I excluded all of that. Now I eat a lot of green vegetables,” Berdin told .
Dynamo won their second victory of the season after four matches, while Sochi lost for the third time.
