Avangard tried not to reveal their cards to opponents in an open training session

On Tuesday, March 14, an open training session of Avangard hockey players took place in Omsk before the second round of the playoffs in the KHL. In addition to journalists, about 400 fans came to it.

On Tuesday, March 14, Avangard hockey players held a training session open to journalists and fans before the start of the 1/4 finals of the Gagarin Cup. More than 1,000 fans came to it, as training before the round with Sibir, but also not bad – about 400.

The players at the lesson were divided into groups in red, white, green and black jerseys. But these colors were purely arbitrary. There is no hidden or obvious special meaning here.

The media and fans were able to see how the head coach Mikhail Kravets himself and his assistants Vyacheslav Uvaev, Alexander Svitov and Anton Kuryanov guide the players with sticks in their hands.

Including the team worked out shots on goal, attacks, skating. At the end of the training, we also worked on one half of the field, playing with two goals – as if working out the majority and the minority. But, as it turned out, the goal here is different.

“The training went well in general, but in this case, in the half-field size, we practiced the game of pressure more. And out from under it. And there, in principle, the guys worked well.

Physical readiness – according to it I can say that there is no division in the main team, everyone is well prepared physically, ”Kravets spoke about this further at a press conference.

The opponent would not have noticed anything sensational in training, if he had seen the video materials in the media. But in fact, the team worked out routinely, excluding communication with the fans – rather, all possible “zest” hockey players will show opponents in the games themselves.

By the way, today the main stage of selling tickets for the first two matches of the series has also begun. it is not known which opponent. On March 14, it will be determined whether it will be Metallurg or Avtomobilist.
