Mikhail Kravets: “Avant-garde wanted to do everything possible to enter the new year with a victory”

“Avangard” December 30 away beat “Lada” 2:1. The meeting was appreciated by the team’s head coach Mikhail Kravets.

In particular, the mentor answered questions about the newcomers – Prokhorkin and Zhafyarov.

“After the failure in Kazakhstan today, the main thing was the team’s mood for the game, they wanted to do everything to go into the new year with a victory. I thank all the guys who played selflessly, together, completing the task. The assessment of the newcomers’ game is their goals. But the most important thing is that both Prokhorkin and Damir Zhafyarov performed the task efficiently, he successfully joined the team. We have to believe in the players we take, I hope that they will be useful in the future. There is no need to worry about Damir’s “physics”,” – Kravets spoke out.

The media also asked how soon the new foreign forward Tomas Jurcho would join the team.

As far as Kravets knows, he has already received a Russian visa, so he should arrive in Omsk on January 2-3. As for Vladimir Tkachev, his temperature is almost normal – +36.8 degrees – the team doctor called the forward at home on this topic. So the player gets better.

“I hope he will play in the first home match next year,” – noted the mentor.

Finally, the coach even answered the question of how he now maintains his voice if he often has to speak loudly on the bench during games. According to him, apparently, the strong Leningrad character helps – for example, it is tempered by the frequent rains in the city. Moreover, victories and a good psychological background help your voice.
