Head Coach “Lokomotiv” Igor Nikitin after the FONBET KHL championship match with “Avant-garde” said that after the third goal the team wanted to continue playing attack and score more.
On Wednesday, Lokomotiv beat Avangard at home with a score of 3:2.
— Overall, we played well. After the third goal, they wanted to annoy the opponent, but the opposite happened. We lost our momentum and put in a lot of effort. Good chances should be scored. But probably, the strength we had left at the end of the second half was not enough to score more. But well done guys, a win is a win.
— Are the missed goals in the minority a consequence of Andronov’s absence, or are they just looking for special teams?
“There is a proverb: ‘You can teach a turkey to pick nuts, but it is better to hire a squirrel to do it.’ In each position, it is important that the person is not only present, but also feels comfortable. What is the problem with our minority? It is one thing to play for 30 seconds, and another to play like today, for 40 minutes. Here, you need not only patience, but also, out of fatigue, to make the right decision, and moreover, a non-standard one. This is a process, and the guys are following it, but we will not be able to solve this problem otherwise,” said Nikita, a correspondent for .
In the next match, Lokomotiv will play at home against Sochi on September 28.
