The head coach “Ak Barsa » Zinetula Bilyaletdinov avoided answering the question about the reasons for the goalkeeper’s withdrawal from the team from the match Timur Bilialov .
On Saturday, Ak Bars defeated Spartak in the KHL regular season match with a score of 3:0. Bilyalov, according to the starting protocol, was supposed to come into play from the first minutes, but he went on the ice as the main goalkeeper Amir Miftakhov .
— The team played very competently. We understood how Spartak was going to play. The guys accomplished the task we set for them. So we got results. It’s very important now to play well – preparations for the playoffs are underway, so that makes me happy.
— Why did they change Bilyalov before the match? Injury?
“He couldn’t play, there’s a reason for that.” Amir was ready for the match, that’s the main thing. There are situations where someone else forgets how to play while sitting on the bench. In that regard, he’s great. He can play very well, we believe in him, he can go out and play at any time.
— Is Radulov’s recovery time known?
“I am not yet ready to answer,” reports correspondent Bilyaletdinov’s words.
