Head coach of Omsk “Avant-garde” Sergei Zvyagin said his team had decision-making problems in the FONBET championship match KHL against Khabarovsk “Cupid” .
Avangard lost to their home opponent on Wednesday in a shootout (2:3 G).
“It’s a shame we couldn’t play the whole game like we did in the first half in terms of decision-making. Otherwise, there’s nothing to blame the guys for; everyone fought and battled.
But we have to give credit to the opponent, they showed character and came back into the game. It all started in the second period. There were problems with decision-making. The guys wanted to play rationally, but emotions are always overwhelming, they want to score. We started losing the puck where we shouldn’t have lost it, we started missing counterattacks and we were sent off. And after our mistakes, the opponent created several scoring chances, the initiative changed hands.
Of course, it is very disappointing to lose when we ourselves managed to start well and score quick goals. But you have to learn from any result. I hope this tutorial will be useful. Hockey is a game. It is not played by robots, and we do not play on a console. The other team also has character and pride. And we are no exception to the rule. Yes, we were leading 2:0 and lost, but it happens. You can do everything right, but the opponent can be better,” the coach was quoted as saying by the KHL press service.
