Head coach “Admiral » Leonid Tambiev said his team could not find a way to beat such a systemic rival as Lokomotiv.
On Monday, “Admiral” lost to Yaroslavl “Lokomotiv” with a score of 0:3 in the home match of the FONBET KHL Championship.
— It is difficult to comment on such matches. The opponent, what can I say, is a systematic and correct team. And they don’t allow other opponents to create much on offense. We couldn’t beat that defense, (even though) we were a little better in battles and in single combat. We did not find any weapons against Lokomotiv. We will prepare for the next opponent. We can only see that our minority did not allow the opponent to score.
With Lokomotiv, the opportunity is to convert the majority, but we didn’t take advantage of it, even though we created the opportunity. With such teams you need to play at high speed, get past the central zone quickly and control the puck in the offensive zone. It’s complicated. Additionally, they are excellent at blocking shots. We tried to convey all this information to the guys, but it’s very difficult to implement. Needless to say, if a team as competent as Dynamo Moscow had 14 shots on goal (Lokomotiv). So “Lokomotiv” is a good team, you cannot take it with your bare hands,” reports correspondent, according to Tambiev’s words.
