Even though Energija-Geležinis vilkas defeated Baltų Ainius 9: 2 and 8: 0 quite easily at the end of September, this match will be a completely different story.
And not only because Energija-Geležinis vilkas did not play any matches for almost a month and often did not train with full force, but also because Baltų Ainius was complemented by three forwards from Russia: Damir Šafejev, Nikita Bashirov and Makar Tokarev, in the last game. against Energija Hockey-HC Klaipėda, who together scored up to 10 goals.
Energija-Geležinis Vilkas coach Dovydas Kulevičius revealed that in the last month more efforts have been made to work on the tactical schemes and the physical condition of the players, but the coach admitted that seeing if progress will only be achieved in the matches.
“It has been almost a month since the last game and it will definitely affect the team. Training alone is not enough, because in the game everything happens differently, you play faster and in a similar way. In that month of training, we pay more attention to tactical actions than simple throws, said D. Kulevičius. We haven’t changed much in team play since late September because there was a big difference between matches. Some of the players were sick, others were more protective and they weren’t going to train at that time, so we couldn’t work on the five that we played. “
According to the coach, the team feels a strong desire to get back to the rhythm of the game.
“I don’t know if it is psychologically difficult for players to wait for a game when you don’t know when it will happen or not, but you want as many games as possible because everyone understands that it is much more fun in them than in training. We can’t do anything about this situation, we just have to adapt and be happy to play, “said D. Kulevičius.
Since last Friday, it is forbidden to admit spectators to sporting events in Lithuania, but this, according to D. Kulevičius, does not have a significant impact on hockey players, who are not used to abundant support.
“In our hockey and usually there are not many spectators, unless it is a final four or a decisive match, then all teams are used to a small number of spectators. Now we will not have spectators at all, but the hockey players have not spoiled the attention of the fans and are not used to it, so we will not feel much difference in that, “said D. Kulevičius.
According to the coach, this Lithuanian hockey season stands out not only because it is infected with the COVID-19 virus, but also because of the similar capacity of the team.
In Baltų Ainiai’s last match against Energija Hockey – HC Klaipėda, Kaunas N. Baširovas rookie shone, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists, but D. Kulevičius himself has yet to see his game, and Energija-Geležinis vilkas pay more attention to your own game, not your opponents.
The “Baltų ainiai” team is not like at the beginning of the season and they showed it well by playing with “Hockey Punks” and solidly defeating the “Energija Hockey – HC Klaipeda” team. They have really put together a good team, strengthened by some good players, so if you leave in no mood, the result of the match may not be as expected. You have to play with all your strength, and there is no clear favorite this season and you have to give all your strength with all the teams. I have not seen N.Bashirov, the newcomer of Baltų Ainiai, who became the MVP of the week, so I cannot say anything about him, but the statistics speak for themselves.
However, we won’t pay much attention to it, because we have to play our game and force them to apply to us, not the other way around. We will see in the course of the match, everything will depend on the result and the course of the match, if it is such that it will be necessary to supervise personally, we will do it, “said D. Kulevičius.
D. Kulevičius experimented with his fur what it feels like to contract the COVID-19 virus. Although the technician has made it easy, he urges people not to hesitate and to take all possible safety measures.
“I was sick and I stayed at home for two weeks. In it, I see pros and cons, which were more. You cannot see it with relatives or passersby. Healing, sitting with a mask and gloves, eating, sleeping and doing nothing else. in good shape, I just didn’t smell anything, but after five days everything calmed down and I stayed home for another week while I was healthy. During that time, I really missed work, because it’s not much fun to sit and do nothing. ” said D. Kulevičius. – If someone thinks that the disease does not exist, then I can assure you that no, only some get sick more easily, others – more difficult. The more active a person is, the healthier he is, the more he walks in the air. free, the easier the symptoms are. However, for those with comorbidities, this virus is ruthless. We can only accept that the disease is there, take the necessary precautions, take care of ourselves and adapt to living differently than we are used to. “
The “Energija-Geležinis vilkas” and “Baltų Ainiai” matches will take place on Thursday at 7.30 pm.
