Dynamo head coach Alexei Kudashov said that even a defeat of Lokomotiv in a match where his team led by three goals would be a good test for the Blue and Whites ahead of the playoffs.
On Sunday, Lokomotiv defeated Dynamo in the regular season match of the Fonbet KHL Championship with a score of 4:3 in a shootout. After the first half, Dynamo led 3:0, but lost the advantage.
– You know, this game was supposed to end like this. Yes, the design and plot of the game dictated that they had to win. But depending on the balance of power, the state of the teams in the championship, we should have reached overtime. Of course, the fact that we were in the lead and lost was a flaw. We knew what was going to happen on the pitch and we made mistakes. Both tactical and psychological. On the other hand, it is a good test before the playoffs. Loko is fighting for the championship, we also set the same goals. You have to prepare, clean up all the mistakes.
— Can we say that Dynamo lacks solidity and that the team often loses when it leads?
— Solidity is lacking. I don’t agree with you that a team often loses while leading. I’m missing a winning experience, I’ll say that. It’s good that we receive such blows now, and not in the playoffs, ”the correspondent reports, reporting Kudashov’s words.
Dynamo is in third place in the Western Conference standings with 80 points.
