Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Plyushchev does not think that the head coach “Locomotive » Igor Nikitin will bring fundamental changes to the game of the Yaroslavl team in the new season.
Lokomotiv reached the Gagarin Cup final last season, where they lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk with a score of 0:4 in the series.
— I don’t know about the combined game, but I agree that Lokomotiv played pragmatically last season. I don’t think Nikitin will easily rebuild the system he has been cultivating for five years. Of course, some adjustments need to be made, but it is unlikely that the coach will start introducing revolutionary things. I think that next season Lokomotiv will be the same as last season. A good stable club without courage in attack, ”Metaratings.ru quoted Plyushchev as saying.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3. On that day, Lokomotiv will play away against Metallurg.
