Vitaly Chernochub: “Omsk Hawks” can oppose the “Seagull” the speed and depth of the composition”

Interestingly, even at the press conference, the mentor came outwardly restless – the collar of his shirt was disheveled.

– We didn’t quite succeed in the game, of course, although two periods were not bad. We created dangerous moments. But we need to understand who we are playing against. “The Seagull” is an older and more experienced team. Even in the final, such young teams as ours now usually did not get into the MHL.

What we wanted to accomplish in the game, in many ways, did not work out. Not in everything. Somewhere the shots did not reach the gate, many guests blocked. Their moments decided the outcome of the match.

The opponent is physically stronger. What can we do to counter this? Speed, aggression, big composition. We have good squad depth. Gotta use this. We do that in the playoffs. Against the experienced “Seagull” we are trying to take depth. With “SKA-1946” it turned out better, but there is another team there – it is more with an emphasis on defense.

– It seemed that the team played sleepily at the very beginning of the match. Physical or psychological causes – which is more likely?

– The guys are young, the first final match was shy. It was hard to expect that they would immediately run and attack. Of course, we wanted to play actively, but the opponent did not let us, on the one hand, and we burned out somehow. All this together…

– In a situation where Berezhnoy conceded six goals, will you change him tomorrow?

– Now let’s watch the video, analyze his game, we’ll see. It’s too early to judge for sure.

– Ivan Miroshnichenko is a strong player, but now he doesn’t look very powerful. Why do you think?

Of course, we must not forget that he went through a difficult path, defeated a fatal disease. It is impossible to expect superfeats from him now. And he already has a colossal desire. Does a huge amount of work. He played a lot in the KHL.

In general, we expect a lot from the final, we are such a team that we will not fall apart after a major defeat at the start. The MHL is such a league, not an easy one, here age teams often make the weather. Today, I have only gratitude for the dedication to the guys.

Earlier we published assessment of the game from the forward Ivan Miroshnichenko himself.
