Goalkeeper “Spartacus” Alexei Krasikov in a conversation with a correspondent, he dismantled CSKA’s own goals and admitted that he was very worried about the defeats in the derby.
On Friday, Spartak lost to CSKA in the home match of the KHL Fonbet Championship (2:4). The Army team fired 38 shots on target. At this match, an attendance record for a hockey game in Moscow was set – 7563 spectators. The match was played on Spartak ice at Megasport.
– Alexei, despite the defeat, there are no complaints against you. It’s a good game.
– I do not think so. I hate losing. If you lose, it means you haven’t played well enough.
— Ready to talk to you. Let’s take a look at all of CSKA’s goals against you. Ready?
– Begin.
– First goal. Puck Abramov, she not only hit the “nine”, but at first she stung you in the mask.
— Yes, he threw in a very good area. Before that there was a fast pass, I had to move. But I managed to adapt, caught the puck with a trap, then tried to push it away with my head. But he didn’t get the puck out.
– That is to say that you replaced your head specifically with the puck?
– I’m ready to beat her with anything, I don’t care. There is a helmet on the head. Bruises and broken bones will heal, but a goal cannot be returned. After all, it’s our job. There are much more dangerous professions, but the people there are not afraid of anything. You don’t have to go far to find examples.
– At the second goal, the CSKA player clearly kicked. I was even surprised Spartak didn’t challenge him.
Haven’t seen the replay yet. But we have a professional video coach. He decided it wasn’t worth taking a preview, so he wouldn’t play in the minority anymore.
– On third base, you hit the puck twice, it only flew into the net after the second rebound. If there is a complaint, then not yours.
– The concentration of CSKA players on the goal played a cruel joke on us. They finalized this moment until the end, but not us. So we scored a goal.
– Well, you missed the fourth in the minority. The army team has such a special team that it is really not worth scolding the goalkeeper for a missed goal.
– CSKA has a good majority, and we have an excellent minority. We just played poorly at this stage. So the adversary has managed to realize too much. They made life difficult for themselves.
– There are defeats for which it is not a shame. Is this game part of this series?
– And I’m ashamed of CSKA’s defeat! Have you seen how many fans are in the stands? Before them, it’s a shame to lose in a derby. I hate losing. I will work even more on myself.
Krasikov has defended Spartak’s goal in all three games against CSKA this season.
