Korban Knight: Avangard will give everything in Kazan

The hockey player answered questions about his removal, problems with the implementation of dangerous moments, expectations from the next match.

– Is it possible to say that Avangard lost to itself in two matches? Because they didn’t score at 5 on 3, they just missed a lot of chances …

– If we talk about the first match, then to some extent, yes. You can not miss the advantage with five and a half minutes before the end. Today we failed to convert 5v3, although we have the best majority in the league. We are very proud of this. Of course, such moments should be used. They need to be hit.

– At the end of the match, you were sent off, the referee saw a foul. How unexpected did it look and perhaps not very necessary?

– I don’t want to say too much (as you know, criticism of judges is punishable in our country). But of course it was hurtful. Especially at the end of regular time. For the rest, I will refrain from saying something superfluous.

– “Vanguard” in its history has not yet won back a series if it was already losing 1:3. Are you ready to create such a sensation and rewrite this history?

– Certainly! I want to create history, we have a great opportunity for this. To do this, we will give our best in Kazan. It will be a very difficult match. But we’ll definitely give it our all.

– What do you think prevented Avangard from scoring the most today?

– We had chances, played well. Such was the nature of the game, we created chances, we must pay tribute to the opponent – his goalkeeper acted great, somewhere just dragged. But then again, if there is a chance to play 5 of us 3, especially in the playoffs, then, of course, you have to score.

Formerly MK in Omsk published an assessment the third meeting of the series, which was given by the head coach of the ex-champions Mikhail Kravets.
