Head coach of Ak Bars Zinetula Bilyaletdinov appreciated the striker’s performance Damira Zhafiarova during the KHL regular season game against Barys.
Zhafyarov, who missed several matches, was included in the lineup for the match against Barys (5:3). He has six shots on target in the opponent’s goal – the second number in the team after Dmitry Yudin (7 on target, two goals).
— Damir Zhafyarov played today for the first time in a long time, he made 6 shots. How would you rate his performance?
– Today is not bad. We had planned for him to play today. He trained here while we were away and inquired about his health. They knew he was ready to play, so they signed up for the game.
— Do you plan to use it in future matches?
“Time will tell,” Bilyaletdinov was quoted as saying on the club’s official website.
In total, this season, the 29-year-old striker has scored only one goal in 11 games. Moreover, the game against Barys was the forward’s 600th in his KHL career.
