“Avant-garde was left without key players, the main places are occupied by new hockey players” – Babaev on the club’s losing streak

Hockey agent Shumi Babaev gave reasons for series failure “Avant-garde” of five consecutive defeats.

After eight games in the current FONBET KHL championship, Avangard has scored seven points and ranks 8th in the Eastern Conference standings.

— It is difficult to name a single reason. The team was left without key players, and the main places were taken by new hockey players. They need to get used to it, understand what tactics Avangard will play. It is clear that in this situation Zvyagin is trying to play more defensively. He changed his tactics a little, but, again, there is no Tkachev, who worked in defense behind many. And Boucher probably also missed the team. Therefore, I think that the defeats are the effect of the fact that the teams are already preparing very seriously for Avangard and the fact that the newcomers cannot yet replace the injured main players. It is clear that Tkachev’s injury has significantly paralyzed the team. Because he is the leading player, everything was built thanks to him. It is clear that the majority is not working. I think that everything should improve in the near future, the team is quite well-built.

Didn’t Zvyagin immediately lose his team? It’s hard to say, it will become clear once he can change something in difficult moments, go against some of his hockey principles. This will probably reflect his current experience. Zvyagin has worked with many coaches, he knows what to do. I think he follows his own path, he has time. I think there is carte blanche, there are 15-20 games to work, show and unite the team, “Babaev told Metaratings.ru.

In the next match, Avangard will meet Lokomotiv on September 25 in Yaroslavl. The match will start at 19:30.
