“Barys needs a spectacular game in attack, a result, and for the defense to be in perfect order” – Konkov

Two-time Gagarin Cup winner Sergei Konkov told what Barys needs to do under the leadership of new head coach Vyacheslav Butsaev to get out of the crisis.

On Wednesday, Barys announced the termination of cooperation with David Nemirovsky, who took over the team in the offseason. In the KHL match with Dynamo Moscow (1:3) on Tuesday, Evgeniy Korolev acted as head coach of Barys. On Wednesday, Russian specialist Vyacheslav Butsayev was appointed head coach of the Kazakh team.

— First of all, Butsaev needs to get the team out of the crisis so that it starts showing a game that would allow it to score points. Barys needs a spectacular game in attack, results, and the defense to be in perfect order. There must be a balance. Butsaev faces a difficult task – he needs to bring the team out of the dive and start gaining points where possible, Konkov told RB Sport.

Barys, having scored five points in nine matches, is in last, 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.
