Head coach of Vityaz near Moscow Dmitry Ryabykin said his team in the KHL regular season game was crippled by Dynamo Moscow’s first two goals.
On Tuesday, Dynamo beat Vityaz on their ice with a score of 5:2 (2:0, 2:2, 1:0).
“We lost in the move, I think so.” But the deciding factor was the match with uneven lineups. We were preparing for Dynamo to focus on the first half. And these two useless goals paralyzed us, especially the first. It’s always purely psychologically difficult to miss the first goal.
– You will play in Vladivostok on Thursday. Will it be difficult after the flight?
– We are flying tomorrow morning. Let’s get ready.
— Goalkeeper Dmitry Shikin was replaced early.
– I already said it was my decision. I don’t blame him for any of the goals. But I wanted to shake up the team, at least get something out of it. I have no complaints about Shikin.
— Can you summarize?
“We have completely changed our tactics, we play a different type of hockey. We’re trying to get the guys in good physical shape, which is hard to do with such a schedule. There is hardly any training, only matches, and the guys also need to rest. We do what we can. But I never discuss the work of my colleagues. Perhaps physical fitness was sufficient for this tactic. But for the current tactics, physical fitness is not enough,” reports the correspondent, according to Riabykin.
