The head coach “Neftekhimika” Oleg Leontiev said the club had decided to part ways with the Canadian striker Anthony Camaro because the player had discipline problems on the ice.
Previously, Kamara terminated the contract with Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik by agreement of the parties. This season, the 30-year-old Canadian has played 25 matches, scoring three goals and making six assists. Later, the striker signed a contract with Barys.
On Monday, Neftekhimik lost to CSKA in Moscow in the Fonbet KHL championship match (1:2).
— The result of the match against CSKA was negative, but the match was combative, we scored all three goals: one against someone else’s goal, two against ours. I would like more, we lost by one point in this match, but the result is on the scoreboard.
— In the second half there were two long periods without a break, how did this affect the team management?
— This often happens in the second half, we work on it in training and in pre-season too. We are ready to face such situations. Players know that the main thing is to change correctly.
— For the second season in a row you start with failure, especially in the goalkeeper line, but then you get closer to the playoff zone, what is the reason?
“We must solve all problems with lightning speed, and then there will be results.” Our goalie line failed two seasons in a row, we had to quickly close the gap, otherwise we would have missed the season. Philip Dolganov is helping us a lot this season, but we are not ruling out Tikhomirov, Nikolaev is still in the mix. Good players are needed in all positions, so we will further strengthen the team.
— Why did they choose Tikhomirov in this match, how can you evaluate his game?
— If a player plays a game, he should not be removed from the lineup, he should benefit the team, that’s why Dolganov played so many games, he held up well, but he needs a break, not only physically, but also psychologically.
— Why did you decide to break up with Anthony Kamara?
– In ten matches he did not score goals and was sent off, and a foreign player must bring results in every match. In addition, he did not complete the game tasks and violated discipline. We thought that the situation would improve, but this did not happen, ”reports the correspondent of , according to Leontiev’s words.
