Coach Lyuzenkov listed the reasons for the defeat of Siberia from CSKA

Before meeting with the army, the coaching staff warned the hockey players about the need to maintain a high pace and adhere to a tactical plan throughout the match. However, Novosibirsk failed to avoid mistakes that ultimately affected the result.

In the first period, "Siberia" looked convincing: the throws in the goal of Novosibirsk beat the opponent with a score of 12:4 and created several dangerous moments. However, they failed to implement, and their own mistakes led to missed washers.

The two goals we conceded were the ones we talked about at the meeting. And, of course, not a single goal scored in the majority, so they lost, Luzenkov said.

The coach also spoke about the condition of injured hockey players. Mikhail Abramov and Daniil Valitov can return to the ice in the next home matches.

Separately, Luzenkov spoke about the possible strengthening of the composition. He confirmed Siberia's interest in forward Vladimir Tarasenko, who remains a free agent, but admitted the club has limited financial options for such an acquisition. At the same time, the coach suggested that the hockey player would consider proposals from the NHL until the last.

Commenting on the possible appearance in the team of Patrick Kane, the coach noted that the club studied this candidacy due to the limited choice of players in the market. Negotiations to invite Jeff Lipsick, he called "something fantastic.".

Luzenkov also explained the absence of Anton Kosolapov in the match. According to him, the coaching staff decided to conduct a game rotation and give the opportunity to prove himself to Vorobyov, who returned from injury. Kosolapov was offered to watch the game from the outside: the coach believes that the striker has not yet managed to reach the level of last season.

Speaking about the psychological state of the team, which is in last place in the standings and is going through personnel changes, Luzenkov rejected pessimism. He recalled that last season Siberia faced even more difficult circumstances and was able to cope with difficulties.

“No one gives up, everyone works. Guys understand everyone, someone has a chance to gain a foothold in the KHL, who played more in the Major League. There is no such mood, the mentor stressed.
