Viktor Kozlov: "I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a couple of ideas on how to start winning matches"

      The head coach of Ufa’s Salavat Yulaev, Viktor Kozlov, summed up the match against Ak Bars, in which his team suffered a heavy defeat (1:4). He noted that the Ufa players started the game actively and paid for it.

      “I think we started not badly. It was a good start. Then we conceded those quick goals that slightly broke us. What didn’t I like? I didn’t like that we lost too many one-on-one battles in the second period. We didn’t clear the puck; we again had turnovers when entering the zone. Against teams like Ak Bars you need to play better, more cleanly, and correctly. They also had a lot of chances; they went on the counterattack because of our mistakes. We wanted to come back, yes, we forced it, but we still have to play correctly and patiently,” Kozlov said.

      The Salavat Yulaev coach also said that he can see how his team will emerge from the prolonged losing streak. He noted that he will reshape the game to fit the capabilities he currently has.

      “You could say, yes, we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Right now we want to change some things, because the ideas were somewhat different — the kind of hockey we played and with different players. It doesn’t quite fit now exactly our—our roster that we have now, so we’re thinking. We have a couple of people to make [changes] so that we start winning games,” the Salavat Yulaev head coach said.
