Former Moscow goalkeeper “Dynamo » Alexander Pashkov told that to win the Gagarin Cup it is not enough to sign contracts with new hockey players, the most important thing is to know what level they will be and how they will be trained.
Earlier on Tuesday, Dynamo President Viktor Voronin said that the contract with head coach Alexei Kudashov was extended for 2 years, and the club’s board of directors also decided to extend the agreement with the KHL record holder for the number of points scored in a regular match. season, striker Nikita Gusev.
— Kudashov stayed at Dynamo, the club offered Gusev a new contract. Are the bosses doing everything right?
— I assumed there would be no change in the lineup. It turns out I wasn’t wrong.
— It is planned to strengthen the team in a targeted manner rather than through massive purchases. Do you see any advantages?
— I think that the question of recruitment does not solve the problem of winning the Gagarin Cup. Here everything is decided by the skill of the players, and they are needed every day for 11 months.
— But are minimal changes in the squad good for the team?
— Stability is not bad. Another question is what this composition will look like, what the coach will do with it, how he will strengthen the game of individual players and the team as a whole. The foreigners were invited this season – the result is clear. But what happens next?
— Gusev became the leader of Dynamo in one season and set a record in the KHL. How would you rate his performance?
“He made a great contribution, despite the negative context that surrounded him when he joined the team. I remember at the beginning of the season I said that Gusev would look great and show high performances. So I arrived at the end of the season with high numbers.
— Will he be able to update his record of 89 points?
“This is not a question for Gusev, but for the coaches,” Pashkov told .
At the end of the KHL regular season, Dynamo takes first place and wins the Continental Cup. At the Gagarin Cup, the “blue and whites” reached the second round, where they lost to Traktor with a score of 0-4.
