– An opponent with a victory. A very good game in all three periods, every 60 minutes we felt pressure all over the pitch, said CSKA head coach Sergei Fedorov. – We started the match correctly, we scored, led, then we slowed down a bit, we didn’t manage to score in the majority. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the attack, although they didn’t realize their chances.
We are still working on defense. Today was a good test for us. At some point, we succeeded. These errors turned out for us, if not fatal, but essential in the game, on which we could not go back.
– The start of the match was for the army team, how much did the goal in the locker room break the team?
– Somewhere I agree, but everything goes, all the same, our tasks for each period are slightly different. He who does nothing makes no mistake. I don’t think anything broke us, but the opposition added movement in the second period, and when the puck was in our zone, we didn’t quite make the right decisions with the puck. The pressure put on us by the opponent did not allow us to play at such a pace. The match continued, the score 2:1 was achievable for either team, but our mistakes led to this result.
“Why did you choose goalkeeper Alexander Sharychenkov?”
— The decision of the technical staff. I won’t talk about the plans and all the rest. We knew that Alexander would play with Kazan.
– After the match against Neftekhimik, you said that you would not change teams. The penultimate season he played for CSKA and did not help.
– I do not agree. There’s nothing wrong with me saying the lineup won’t change. The Guardian theme is a little tricky.
– Didn’t it seem to you that the outfield players almost lacked freshness? Are you going to introduce new forces?
“We didn’t feel like we didn’t have the strength. It’s just that the opponent was faster, that’s obvious. In pursuit, we can say that in the last two matches we played six different periods. We couldn’t play the full 60 minutes. Today is the day when a rival like Ak Bars showed us that we should work on exactly the option when we have to play every 60 minutes.
– In the episode with the second puck against CSKA, played by Panyukov, the attackers did not understand, none of them was on the throwing line. Can you comment?
I haven’t seen this episode in its entirety yet. The defense should play better, cover the opponent. It would be nice if Grigorenko scored, but the opponent played well. I liked the way Abramov handled the puck. Nice goal.
– Did you pay attention to the writing of Oleg Znark, how they locked up the opponent in the second half? The second-period goal came through after a long siege from your gate.
— Oleg Valeryevich is a very experienced coach. Above all, we worked on our actions. We fully understand what a long shift is. No one doubted that Ak Bars would play such fast hockey. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough speed, and as a result, we didn’t have time to shut down the forward, who corrected the puck.
– There are a lot of young players in the army team. Are you satisfied with their performance?
– The guys have proven themselves, they are not only in the group. We liked what we’ve seen since the start of training camp, but there are still stages in the work that we have to go through with them.
– Grigorenko has already played one game in the center. What qualities give you confidence that he will be effective in this position?
– Wait and watch. Misha has been working at the center since the very beginning of our training camp, so this position is not new for him. He’s doing fine, but hasn’t played there for a long time. We will move in this direction.
– You worked with Radulov in the 2015/16 season, when you played in the final with Magnitogorsk. Can you compare him with the current Radulov?
– Several years later. Alexander went to the NHL, came to a more mature age, today I liked him. You can see the skill, the movement, he disposed of the puck correctly, therefore, he clearly executed the out.
“Fredrik Klasson made a mistake there.
– I won’t comment on who is to blame, but as a result, we were left with one defender and Ak Bars ran away with two players. Good attack and execution.
