On Saturday, Riga’s “Dinamo” created a lot of goals in the Continental Hockey League match – at least two game norms, after the loss at the Neftekhimik press conference, the team’s head coach Peter Skudra said.
Ninamtekhimik from Nizhnekamsk conceded 1: 3 on their field, extending the loss to ten. Zek Michel scored the goal for “Dinamo”.
“Despite the result, the game is good, because we created so many goal scoring moments – a couple of games for sure,” the head coach of the Riga team Pēteris Skudra was satisfied with what he saw on the field. “It simply came to our notice then. We throw a lot more at the goal than the opponents, and losing is painful. ”
He pointed out that in just a couple of days all hockey players are training together for the first time, they have already managed to have a good game, and in the future the team will play better.
Of the training achievements, Ant was the most prominent player in the majority, as it has been crazy lately due to Covid-19. We have to return to where the “dynamians” were already at the beginning of the season before the quarantine of Covid-19 – the best in the top five.
The coach wants to expect fast and combinatorial hockey from the team, but in order to play it, he must be in good physical condition, which he will not be able to achieve ideal this season.
The “chemistry” of the players in the ranks is also very important, Skudra noted.
Responding to questions from journalists, he mentioned that one of the last to suffer from Covid-19 is goalkeeper Zein Makintair, who could start light training “in a few days”.
Asked about the release of the experienced Latvian hockey players Miķelis Rēdlihs and Gints Meijas, Skudra said that “there is a professional team here and what you did five or ten years ago is not taken into account”. He said it was important what the player could give to the team today and that the player had to prove his professionalism and that he needed the team every day. There must be the right motivation, desire on the field and the right sports regime, the coach added.
“It’s hard to lose, but for the first time in several months we were on the field,” said Michel, the only goal scorer who has also played for Neftehimik before and who agreed that he was a little more motivated towards his former club.
“However, we cannot blame Covid-19. We are a good team and we have to start winning by finding a common language on the field, ”summed up Mitchell.
“We made a lot of mistakes, even though we played well,” said Vyacheslav Bucayev, the head coach of the visiting team, about the performance of his team. “The teams are next in the tournament table and today was a character fight. We are happy that we managed to win ”
Riga’s “Dinamo” with seven points in 18 games takes the last place in the KHL championship, while “Neftehimik” with 14 points in 21 matches in the East climbed to the penultimate 11th position, moving to the last place in the East the Beijing club, which has two points less.
