Head Coach “Siberia” Andrey Martemianov positively rated the performance of the team in the Fonbet Championship game KHL with Magnitogorsk Metallurgist .
The match ended with the score of 4:2 in favor of Sibir. The Novosibirsk team scored 70 points and moved into first place in the KHL Eastern Conference.
– I would like to sum up the series of four games. We took maximum points, and if we go through with the game, I’m grateful to the team – we came out motivated, charged, played to win, showed team hockey. I think the match was a success for both teams, we were faced by a titled skilful opponent who knows how to play tactically in different ways. We were strong in terms of dedication. We were punished for mistakes, we did the same. Thanks to the team and the fans for their support.
We didn’t play very well on the opposing blue line, mistakes were made, but we corrected them. We played as a team, guys who scored goals, that situation was eliminated. A match against such an opponent is a great experience for our defenders, our defense line is not that experienced. It only comes through games, they will get stronger.
We didn’t really think about first place in the East, it was important to take points. Guys, maybe they watched, no one forbids it. The main thing is to stay there, it is easier to get out of it than to linger. As for the majority, to be honest, the guys are addicted. Concentration is lost, there is a lot of desire, somewhere we have to play easier and we start to be creative. Let’s try to understand, they know how to play, we’ll fix everything. Minorities were good for both teams, – quotes Martemyanova official site leagues.
