Head Coach “Spartacus” Igor Grischine urged to respect “Kunlun” after the defeat of the “red-whites” of the Chinese club in the away match of the KHL.
On Saturday, Spartak lost to Kunlun in Mytishchi in overtime in the KHL Championship Fonbet regular season game – 2:3 (0:0, 0:2, 2:0, 0:1).
“It’s hard for us to get pucks,” Grishin’s correspondent quoted. – In the last game they did not score and in these two periods they could not reach the goal in any way. It looks like they were throwing and creating chances, but it wasn’t until the third period that they managed to turn things around and score two goals. There were also some good episodes. For example, in the last second (Ilya) Talaluev made a great moment for himself, but Kunlun’s goalkeeper (Matt Dzhurusik) saved his team, played perfectly. In the end, this is the result.
– With the score 2:2, it looks like Spartak turned the game around and Kunlun “floated”. What prevented the development of success?
– There was a moment almost immediately when the puck jumped over (Spartak forward Matvey) Zaseda’s stick. And that was a 100% goal. When you score like that, the game is over. They could not score – already the opponent has an emotional outburst, they again believed in themselves. The initiative passed from one team to another.
– Kunlun beat Spartak for the third victory this season. What is the problem?
– With me, only one was lost, one was won.
– Why did your attack start having problems? After all, “Kunlun” is still “sweet pie” by KHL standards.
“I can’t say Kunlun is sweet pie. The team is of very high level. She should be treated with great respect. As for the attack… We managed 45 shots on target. We have to keep attacking. Another thing is that the implementation was broken. Beautiful prints are not obtained, something is gone.
Spartak is seventh in the KHL Western Conference table with 58 points.
