Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Krikunov told that head coach “Ak Barsa” Zinetula Bilyaletdinov I didn’t want to coach the Kazan team.
Ak Bars lost “To the motorist” in three games in the first round of the playoffs. The next match of the series up to four victories will take place on March 6 in Yekaterinburg.
— There are good teams in the East. You don’t even know who can do what. Of course, I thought that Ak Bars would catch something in three matches, but Avtomobilist is playing very well. Kazan is well equipped, perhaps even better than many, but alas, it happens. The first round sometimes produces unexpected results.
— If Avtomobilist closes the series in four matches, will this mean that Zinetula Bilyaletdinov will have to leave?
“I don’t know, it’s up to management to decide.” But as far as I know, he didn’t really want to work. The management of Ak Bars convinced him, so he went there. I don’t know how they will continue to solve the problems there,” Krikunov told .
