Head coach of Dynamo Minsk Dmitri Kvartalnov On , he said that the Belarusian team needs to strengthen the goalkeeper position before the start of the FONBET KHL championship.
“Dynamo” Last season, he reached the KHL playoffs, where he lost to Dynamo Moscow in the first round (2-4).
— How do you like the conditions in the club?
“Everything here is at a good serious level. Big arena capacity, big fans. No. 1 team in Belarus. It’s a big responsibility to a multi-million country and to those who invited you. The pressure is good. There is no sport without pressure.
This year we have made a successful selection, we are delighted. Perhaps there is still a position to strengthen. It would be desirable, it would be good to have three years to build a team, but the fans are a motivation for us. There are many Belarusians among the team leaders.
-Who do you want to buy? What position?
– Probably the goalkeeper. We have come closer in defense, competent guys in attack. Youth is our engine, which will force us to move forward and not to doze off.
– Vadim Shipachev – still the same, Cherepovets?
— He still loves hockey very much, he is healthy. We hope that he will help us and become a better player. He is a center forward, one of the best in Russia, if not the best.
We watch our opponents, but we follow our own game. We had problems with the majority and with the defense, but we fixed those problems and solved them. But the season will tell everything.
— Last season, Dynamo scored more than they conceded for the first time in seven years. What does that mean?
– That’s good. That year was very difficult; I encountered some things for the first time. It took me and me to adapt. The second year, we have to go further.
— The league is becoming more competitive.
– That’s good. But I would like everyone to respect the rules, so that everyone is more equal, but we have better clubs. If we want to make the championship unpredictable, we need to level these moments, “Kvartalnov told .
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3. Dynamo will host Khabarovsk Amur in the first match on September 5.
