Coach Vyacheslav Butsaev expressed about the beginning »Frets » in the current season of the Fonbet KHL Championship.
Oleg Bratash’s team is in fifth place in the KHL Eastern Conference standings with 20 points.
— Share your thoughts on Lada’s performance this Kontinental Hockey League season?
— Playing under the direction of Bratash, “Lada” is very enjoyable and impressive. Well done for showing such a result. Another competitive team has appeared in our league. The main reasons are that a good goalkeeper has appeared…
— Vladislav Podiapolski?
– Yes. A group of players came from St. Petersburg. And of course, the first violin is played by foreigners, with whom the club was right. They lead the team. If we compare with Larionov’s hockey, they are most likely poles apart. However, no one overturned the result. In one of the interviews, Oleg Bratash himself said that he was not asked to show beautiful hockey, but to give results. It’s here.
– Lada’s streak of failures in the Far East – four defeats in four matches. What does this signal? Is it just fatigue or a slump?
“I don’t think we can take that as some sort of signal.” To some extent this is a failure, even a decline. There were reasons for this. The head coach said there were problems with the team and injured players. Well, let’s not forget that Lada probably had the most difficult schedule of her Far East tour. They played four matches in seven days, believe me, it’s not easy. But nevertheless, we saw that all the games were stubborn, “with a knife”. There was probably not enough hockey happiness in these matches, especially in Vladivostok,” Butsaev quotes Metaratings.ru.
