Salavat Yulaev head coach Viktor Kozlov commented on the defeat of Ak Bars in the match of the pre-season tournament in Kazan.
The match took place on Monday August 29 and ended with the score of 3:5. Vladislav Kartaev, Joshua Ho-Sang and Alexander Kadeikin scored goals against the Ufa team.
– Very good tense game. I’m happy with the guys, we played with a great team, we created a lot of chances. Bilyalov helped a lot when we came out in an empty net, but he lagged.
– And Kareev?
– Minor damage.
How would you rate Ho-Sang’s playing?
— Played a little with self-confidence. It happens, I tried to beat in the pre-season tournament, it didn’t work. Yes, that was one of the highlights.
– Can we say that your goalkeepers lost the duel against Bilyalov?
— No, our goalkeepers played well.
– Do you have any questions for players regarding the removal?
– No, there are no questions for the players.
– You said that this tournament will be an exam. How do you rate the squad for today’s match?
– If we had won, it would have been five. And so, three with a plus or four with a minus. We have a lot of young guys who played for (Ak Bars strikers) Kagarlitsky or Shipachyov on PlayStation or watched them on TV. And today they were worthy against them on the ice.
– Should I be worried about a losing streak?
– We tried a lot of young guys, looked at combinations, we got a lot of new ones. It’s frustrating to lose three games before the start of the season, especially when you’re playing well. The guys are looking forward to September 3, – Kozlov is quoted by the club’s official website.
Your first game of the new season Fonbet KHL Championship “Salavat Yulayev “will take place on September 3, when he will meet on the road the SKA of St. Petersburg.
