Head coach of Salavat Yulaev Viktor Kozlov said the club sets a strategy for the entire regular season, not an individual game.
On Tuesday, Salavat Yulaev defeated Lada with a score of 3:1 in the home match of the FONBET KHL Championship.
— A difficult first period on our part. We made some mistakes, so Lada took the initiative and controlled the puck. In the second half the game changed, we started to play more aggressively. Hence Tsulygin’s goal. With the score 1:1, it was clear that the match was heading towards a goal. We tried to attack, but we tried not to run into an opposing counterattack. It was not easy to contain the assault. It was very important to win the third period at home today and the match as a whole.
I see the season as a marathon. It is divided into stages where the marathon runner must understand how fast he or she should run. When you should eat, drink to avoid lack of energy. We are running a marathon, we are trying to maneuver and lead the team in a balanced way. Yes, it’s not easy for the guys, but it’s their job, they have to give 100%.
— Are you worried about the Lada, about the latest news?
“No,” the correspondent reports Kozlov’s words.
