Avangard hockey player Sharipzyanov: “I would not call myself a fan of rock music, but I can listen to something in the locker room before the match.”

Defender “Avant-garde” Damir Sharipzianov told that he was not a big rock fan, but could periodically tune in before a match using the music.

On Thursday, Avangard defeated Salavat Yulaev with a score of 1:0 (0:0, 0:0, 1:0) in the KHL regular season match. The only goal was scored in the third period by Nikita Kholodilin.

Sharipzyanov scored 7 (0+7) points in 21 matches this season.

— Why did it take so long to open an account?

— The goalkeepers played very well, nothing but praise for them! Both teams had chances, but the goalkeepers played until the last. As for our goal, it was more because we did a good job than because the opposing goalkeeper made a mistake.

— What does it feel like psychologically to enter the third period without a single goal scored?

— In principle, it’s good for the defenders. We don’t look at the score, the content of the game is more important. In the first two periods, we didn’t create many chances, we made mistakes. It’s good to have scored and led to victory.

— After the goal, was the goal to maintain the score or increase the advantage?

“I don’t think it’s worth keeping score.” This will not lead to good things. We played our game, but with caution. When you lead 1-0 with eight minutes to go, you take fewer risks and make smarter decisions.

— Avangard is organizing a house series in a rock atmosphere. Do you have a favorite rock artist?

— I don’t really have a favorite, I wouldn’t call myself a fan. But in the locker room before the match I can listen to something,” Sharipzyanov told .
