The head coach of CSKA commented on the match in Nizhny Novgorod.
— In the first two periods there was a slight advantage of Torpedo. At the same time, we managed to score an important goal. In the third period, we tuned up and played correctly. Nothing foreshadowed such a development. But we missed a second goal at the end of the third period. We know why it happened. We'll tell the guys to go to the meeting tomorrow. As it was, it was a very fast game, and we were setting up the team for the opponent's quick actions. But when you convert your chance, you have more space for other actions. But it turned out the way it turned out. The guys definitely tried, there are no complaints about dedication But it was necessary to act a little more flexibly. Congrats to "Torpedo" on victory. And we are preparing for the next game with Peter. I hope there is a silver lining.
— In the last two matches, the team plays correctly with and without the puck. But only two goals were thrown into them, and both were defenders. Why are the attackers silent?
— Good question. When we scored Dynamo, the striker closed the goalkeeper. Today, the defender scored with a connection, and the striker gave a good pass. These were team goals in the last two games. The attackers have chances. And they should clearly understand that these moments need to be scored. We will pay great attention to this. It all starts with training, we've been talking about this all the second half of the championship. In training, you need to score, not just throw the puck. We are setting the guys up to hit the target. And it also brings great benefits to our goalkeepers in training. There are chances, goals will appear.
— In the last game, Tahir Mingachev was injured, but he is not on the injured list. Does this mean that there is nothing serious there?
— In the first 48 hours, everything was serious. But, as I understood, the body coped with its task. And now the injury can be called quite easy.
— Vladislav Provolnev was not in the roster today. Is it rotation or are there any other reasons?
— Either rotation, or given a rest, one of two. Freddy was resting with us, today we gave Vlad a rest.
