Omsk “Avant-garde” it is necessary to strengthen the composition, mainly the positions of goalkeeper, center forward and defender, believes the hockey expert Sergei Guimaev .
Avangard launched a new season of the Fonbet Championship KHL with five defeats in five matches.
– In your opinion, were there any positive developments in Avangard’s game during the match against Sibir?
– Of course, Avangard must strengthen the team. There are problems in the line of defense. I was very surprised that the “hawks” did not renew Emelin. Belov, Belyakov and Yarosh are far inferior to Emelin and the Finnish defenders who left the team. Galimov instead of Grubets is also an uneven substitute. The failure is observed in the line of the central forwards. Yes, Avangard has extended Corben Knight, but Alex Broadhurst is playing on the second line, which completely fails to meet expectations. When he was signed, more was expected of him. Next comes the hole. There is Malykhin, but let’s remember who was at Avangard in this position. These are Semenov, Prokhorkin and Kablukov. I think that’s the key point. Ryabykin worked under Hartley for a long time, he gained experience and knows his system. Bob is a coach who has won it all. Dmitry is just ahead, this is his debut as a head coach.
But I think Avangard will be better. Even with this team, he is able to score points and win games. But Omsk must strengthen and seek a goalkeeper, a center forward and a defender. I’m sure that Avangard will reach the playoffs, but if there are no new players (note), the team will not be able to compete for the Gagarin Cup.
– Dmitry Ryabykin and Pavel Dedunov said after the game that the team should play number two, from the stove. Will this help Avangard out of the crisis?
Yes, I think that’s correct. When you lose five games in a row, you must achieve the first victory. And for this you need to play strictly. When you have a game going, you can act more variably on offense. And if you lose with a bunch of stupid individual errors and not the best goalkeeper game, then what kind of great game can we talk about? Of course, here you have to play well in defense to feel confident,” said Gimaev, as quoted by ‘RB Sport’.
