Ak Bars head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov cited the reason for the absence of forward Vadim Shipachev in the Fonbet KHL championship match with Lada.
Friday’s meeting in Togliatti ended in a victory for the hosts on ice with a score of 6:3.
— It’s very difficult to comment on this match. Of course, we made a lot of stupid mistakes, after which the opponent scored goals against us. There is something to work on, we will try to improve the situation.
— Are these errors linked to undertuning?
— It’s not just a lack of adjustment, there are several factors. We need to figure out what the reason is. And the opponent, of course, forced me to make mistakes.
— Did the Lada surprise you with anything today?
“I wasn’t particularly surprised by anything, they tried to play actively, we expected that.” Here in Kazan they acted the same way. But we made a lot of mistakes.
— Why was Vadim Shipachev absent from the team today?
“He is injured,” Bilyaletdinov was quoted as saying by the official. website “Ak Barsah”.
Lada takes 3rd place in the Eastern Conference (31 points), Ak Bars (32) is one line higher.
