Siberia general director Viktor Merkulov named the club’s hockey players whose coaches of the Novosibirsk team were unhappy with the results of the preparatory matches.
— Who were you unhappy with at the end of the pre-season?
— Vadim Sergeyevich (Epanchintsev, head coach) at the post-match press conferences has already named the names of those with whom we are not satisfied, with whom he is not satisfied. Our opinion coincides with his, we see the same hockey, he just looks from below, and we from above. These guys argue. There are various reasons why Butuzov, Dubakin, Morozov, let’s say, do not play the hockey that they could play. There is still time to get back in shape. In addition, the season is long, there is an opportunity to prove yourself, everything can change at any moment.
These players have already shown that they can play hockey. Butuzov scored enough points last season to be considered the team leader. We all remember how Dubakin played under the leadership of the same Epanchintsev in Khabarovsk. And Ilya Morozov knows how to play hockey, you just need to wake up a little, wake up and start playing the hockey that they know how to play, “Merkulov told the” Championship “.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
