Mikhail Kravets: “Avangard” won today in a pretty fun game.”

Omsk hockey players on Tuesday, November 14, beat at home to Severstal in overtime 5:4. This is their seventh win in a row since October 31st. The meeting was appreciated by Avangard head coach Mikhail Kravets.

The specialist noted: the missed goal at the very end was very disappointing, but the fans should have liked the victory and the content of hockey here in general.

– The show turned out to be fun and interesting for the audience. Lots of goals. Beautiful aggressive game. We knew in advance that Severstal was playing very well. And that she won many matches. And that it has talented young players, hungry for hockey, who act at speed, pass well, making short and very fast passes.

Maybe our hockey players didn’t believe all this about the opponent. Therefore, our first period was not the best. Ultimately, we had the initiative, especially in the third period. We put the pressure on the opponent, although, unfortunately, we conceded this goal in the end. Everything happens, everyone makes mistakes. Fortunately, we won and scored two points.

– Will it be possible to improve the game at the point? How will you try to achieve this?

– You can always improve this, simply by training. Our colleague Alexander Svitov will watch more videos from this game and take into account all the shortcomings. And we will improve. This is what happened today, not very well. Although it seems that those who played on the face-off for Severstal do not have very good statistics, but even they lost today like this, something similar happened. Somewhere there is a lack of attitude, somewhere even skill. Will be working.

– Avangard today systematically ran into counterattacks, including two-on-one attacks. But what was missing for the goal?

– There was a lack of precision somewhere. Somewhere – a good transfer. Completion of the hard. They don’t always score in two-on-one situations. It is important that there were these counterattacks. At the same time, no one relaxes in the locker room. Everyone is preparing hard.

– Despite the fact that the team wins, it conceded 4 goals for the second match in a row. What needs to be corrected here to skip less?

– We need to improve our thinking and defensive play.
