CSKA defender Yaroslav Dyblenko spoke about the preparation for Severstal and the emotions of hundreds of matches in the CSKA club.
— Ahead is the match with Severstal - the team that ruffled the nerves of CSKA in the last playoffs. What will the game be like tomorrow?
— There will be the same active hockey, a lot of individual play from the opponent. The Cherepovets team has a lot of imagination, they swap passes, they feel each other well. There is a new coach came in the summer — Andrey Kozyrev, I am familiar with his game. It will be an interesting match.
— Will Severstal be the same uncomfortable opponent under the new coach?
— I don't know, they are always a very uncomfortable opponent. In recent years, they have been ruffling the nerves of all the teams in the league. They win a lot, regularly get into the playoffs. This is a good team.
— How can I transfer the mood and concentration from Yaroslavl to Severstal so that CSKA's game is as smooth and selfless?
— We will try to play consistently, show the result that we can demonstrate. We need to prepare better for each match. After the match with Lokomotiv, with such a good opponent, we see that everything is fine with us. We need to take the right course and move on.
— How to fix the power play? Now this component is sagging.
— We have talented guys, very good masters. It's a matter of time. In fact, there's nothing wrong with that.
— Not so long ago you had your hundredth match with CSKA. Does time fly fast?
— Yes, it's really great that we managed to play a hundred matches in such a club. It's cool, it feels nice!
