The head coach “Avant-garde” Mikhail Kravets declared that Yaroslavl “Locomotive” dropped the Omsk team in the second match of the quarterfinal series of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs.
On Monday, Avangard lost at home to Lokomotiv with a score of 0:7. Yaroslavl leads the series with four victories – 2-0.
– Regardless of the score of the game, the score speaks for itself. We lost in every aspect: in struggle, in goals, in desire, in everything. There is only one note: count. Thank you to the supporters who supported and believed in our team until the end of the match.
We all have to understand that with this team we have to play with precision, speed and aggression, and that we cannot make many mistakes in passing and other actions on the field. The whole team played badly, all together.
— How to improve your psychological state?
– If you are a strong person, playing in the Avangard team, you yourself must straighten your head and understand that today you were lowered under the sewer. We have to go out and prove it. Naturally, the playoffs did not end with setbacks, we must overcome them and achieve victory,” Kravets said at a press conference.
The third match will take place in Yaroslavl on March 20.
