Kravets Celebrates Notable Victory Over Lokomotiv and Outlines Teams Game Strategy

The head coach of Barys, **[Mikhail Kravets](https://your-link-here)**, commented on the solid 4-0 victory over Lokomotiv and shared the team’s approach for the game.

— This is a significant win for us, especially since we hadn’t won away in a while, and Lokomotiv is a team that has yet to lose at home. I believe this makes it even more commendable. I’d like to congratulate our fans and thank the players for executing their roles well. Today, the team demonstrated that when everyone executes their game plan 100% and gives 200% effort, we can triumph over any opponent. This is just one game, and there are still many strong teams ahead, so we need to keep preparing. Congratulations to everyone who supported us and cared about our performance.

**— It seemed like the players had a great mindset; what was the strategy going into the game and what led to defeating Lokomotiv?**
— Reviewing our last game, I noticed how many battles we lost; Lokomotiv was particularly aggressive and won almost all puck battles. The focus was on winning those duels. We needed to maintain constant, active, and aggressive play with our sticks and feet, ensuring our minds were in the right place. We aimed not to let the opponent take control, clear them out from our crease, and fight hard in theirs. There are many elements involved, but those are the key points, — Kravets’ comments were highlighted on Lokomotiv’s website.
