Head coach of Dynamo Moscow Alexei Kudashov after a major defeat to Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo, he said that in this match his hockey players did not succeed in many things and the reasons why the match did not go well had already been discussed in the locker rooms.
On Saturday, Dynamo lost at home to Torpedo with a score of 1:7 in the Fonbet KHL championship match.
— Everything didn’t go well, the game didn’t go well. We have discussed the reason with the players, they know it, we will try to remedy it.
— Why didn’t you take a timeout in the second period?
— Today there were two goalkeeper changes, we use these breaks as timeouts.
— Why was there no change in the defender pairs?
— Rearranging the places of the terms does not change the sum, it is useless to talk now about the personal qualities of the players.
— You have a match ahead of you against Severstal, many believe that after crushing defeats it is easier to prepare for the next matches.
“That’s what those who have never lost with such a score say.” There is little pleasure in such defeats. This season has a lot of surprises, everyone has played 15 games, and there are already so many defeats.
— Can you blame the team for its lack of will?
— Hockey players are neither stupid nor weak. Today a lot of things went wrong, we lost our match somewhere, but I don’t want to bring out the details from the locker room. We need to work better, it takes dedication and dedication.
— How did you personally perceive this defeat?
– Of course, it’s unpleasant to lose like that, but that’s part of my job, you have to think strategically, understand which players are worth shouting about and which are not.
— How do you evaluate the performance of the goalkeepers? Didn’t it seem like their rescues weren’t enough today?
— To win, the whole team must play well: goalkeepers, defenders, attackers and technical staff.
— After conceding 12 goals in the last two matches, conversations will start around you. How will you feel about this?
– Anything can happen in hockey, sometimes you win and they throw mud at you, and sometimes it’s the other way around – they protect you after defeats. People come, get sick, express their opinions, that’s what hockey was created for, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Kudashov’s words.
Dynamo Moscow, having scored 20 points in 15 matches, occupies fourth place in the Western Conference standings.
