The head coach of Avtomobilist Alexei Kudashov after the match in Magnitogorsk congratulated Metallurg on the victory and shared his assessment of the game. He noted that the team still fails to play the match whole. According to the coach, during the meeting, players periodically lose concentration: it seems that the game is getting better, but at some point the team “turns off”, misses, then turns on again – but it is too late.

But here I say, we have to play the whole game and play all the moments to the end. No relaxation and shortcomings can not be allowed, the coach said.

The next match “Automobile” will be held on October 20 in St. Petersburg, the opponent will be SKA.
