The home series of the Novosibirsk hockey youth team “Siberian Snipers” is not going very successfully so far: the Nizhnekamsk “Reactor”, which visited us, won both matches. He told about the reasons for the failures after the second meeting Snipers coach Dmitry Gogolev.
The head coach of the youth team noted that both games began under the dictation of the hosts:
“We started well on Sunday, we took the lead 2: 0, there were still chances,” Gogolev recalls his first home match with Reactor.
However, winning the moment and even the period is not the same as winning the match. From the advantage gained, young Novosibirsk hockey players, presumably, fall into euphoria and concede goals at the most crucial moment. In any case, such a conclusion can be drawn from the commentary of the head coach.
“We felt that the game was being given, our“ young ”disease manifested itself – we missed the advantage. We said during the break that we shouldn’t relax, but we got one puck, the second – and we can’t come back. We need to work on this, be able to keep the game, ”- his thoughts return to the unsuccessful first match, lost with a score of 2: 5, Dmitry Gogolev.
In his opinion, the situation developed in a similar way in the rematch on Monday.
“Today we have a similar match. There are moments, there is no implementation. We began to play better in defense, but if we play with a strong opponent, we play strictly in defense, and if the opponent lets us play, we forget to defend. “
The team will have a week to rest and draw conclusions: on November 30 and December 1, Siberian Snipers, who are currently on the penultimate line of the Vostok Conference standings, will face the second East team – the Nizhny Novgorod Seagull.
