The head coach “Salavata Yulaeva” Viktor Kozlov declared himself satisfied with the performance of his team, despite the defeats in the last three matches of the regular season of the Continental Hockey League (KHL ).
On Monday, Salavat Yulaev lost in Moscow “Dynamo” with the score 1:2 in overtime. Before that, the Ufa team lost to SKA (0:2) and Yaroslavl Lokomotiv (0:3).
– Good game. Both teams played patiently. Both in attack and defense. It’s nice to play in Moscow, the Ufa fans supported us. All lines played well and (goalkeeper Alexander) Samonov was not bad. I think we deservedly won a point. There were fears that there would not be enough strength and emotions, but they were not justified. It’s nice to see so many of our supporters, even at away matches.
— “Salavat” has only scored one goal in the last three matches, how would you assess this result?
— We create enough chances to score. Each player must create a different number of scoring chances. We’re playing well offensively, but the pucks aren’t arriving yet.
— Why did they eliminate the goalkeeper in overtime without waiting for the winning throw-in?
– So that we have the opportunity to immediately apply pressure.
— How do you evaluate the championship period against strong opponents?
— We have time to correct certain points. We will try to irrigate the soil to eliminate the drought.
— How did the players perceive this scoreless streak?
– Don’t forget who we played with. We had chances against serious opponents,” reports the correspondent, according to Kozlov’s words.
Salavat Yulaev, having scored 86 points in 65 matches, occupies third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
