Guardian of “Traktor” Sergei Mylnikov spoke about changes in the training process under Canadian coach Benoit Groux.
Gru led the team in May, the specialist replaced Alexey Zavarukhin.
— Did the team change a lot during the offseason?
– A lot has changed – different tactics, a new, more intense training process. We run a lot, throw a lot, work a lot on turns, do a lot of martial arts.
— Are you personally interested in working with a foreign coach?
Of course, this is a completely different understanding of hockey. It is radically different, even judging by the training – colossal intensity. On the first day, I did not understand: “Does it happen that quickly?!” And so: hockey is also hockey in Africa.
— Will we see another Traktor this season?
— Hockey is evolving and the coach’s mentality is North American. We will play more attack, play aggressively, “Mylnikov quotes RB Sport.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3. In the first match of the season, Traktor will face Avtomobilist from Yekaterinburg on September 4.
