Head coach of Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo » Igor Larionov said he expected more from the striker Dmitri Kagarlitski he must be a team leader and help the young hockey players.
Kagarlitsky joined the Torpedo roster in the offseason. In five games, the 35-year-old forward has not scored a single point. Torpedo lost to Sochi with a score of 3:5 in the away match of the FONBET KHL Championship on Monday.
— Are you satisfied with the way Kagarlitsky showed himself?
– You know, there is always hope that things will improve. We are trying to help the guy, because he is an experienced player. It is clear that more is expected of him, he must be a leader of the team and help the youngsters. But there is still work to be done. Kagarlitsky missed the previous match for this reason: we had to improve him physically.
As you get older, you have to listen to your body more. So far, this is not enough for a long part of the playing time. The team plays fast hockey, so in addition to intelligence and skill, it also needs endurance. At the moment, it lacks a little. But we will not be too critical. “We want Kagarlitsky, with his experience, to be more useful to the team,” a correspondent of reports, reporting Larionov’s words.
