Head coach “Salavata Yulaeva” Viktor Kozlov after the defeat of CSKA said his team wasn’t shooting enough on goal, which is a problem in “Russian and Soviet hockey.”
On Tuesday, Salavat Yulaev from Ufa lost to CSKA Moscow in an away match of the KHL regular season – 0:2.
— We haven’t played in a long time, we looked good. There were moments, from the first shift. We played well in the minority and stayed up for 12 minutes. We created our own moments. But it’s clear that we haven’t played for a long time, we have to get back into the rhythm of the game.
— Could Mikhailov’s 80th birthday excite the team? In the end, the team was visibly struggling.
— There was some confusion at the end. But the third and fourth played well in the match, we would like the whole team to play like that
— Why did new pairs of defenders come out for this match?
— Tsulygin was injured, we had to redesign the combinations.
— Would you like to see more throws?
— I would like all our players to shoot at the first opportunity, but we have a problem with Soviet and Russian hockey: we don’t shoot enough.
— How did the break affect the team?
— We have such a schedule, but five to six days between matches is too much. This is the first time in my practice. Previously, there were breaks for national team matches, but then all teams had a break.
— You have a 200-match anniversary, is it an important date?
“I didn’t even think about it, the main thing is that there are even more.”
— Comment on Denis Yan’s game.
— He has little practice of the game. This is only Denis’ second match for Salavat. Ian is a good striker around whom we can form a trio.
— Have you discussed options for strengthening the team with foreign players?
— The process is ongoing. We study what is happening in the NHL. If we want to hire someone, we need to do it now. It will be a defender or an attacker,” reports the correspondent, according to Kozlov’s words.
Salavat Yulaev scored 12 points in 10 matches and ranks eighth in the Eastern Conference standings.
