The head coach Severstal Andrei Razin noted the psychological significance of victory over “Torpedo” in Fonbet’s KHL Championship match, and also said the team was struggling to recruit due to injured and ill players.
On Thursday, Severstal beat the team from Nizhny Novgorod at home – 4:3. Main game time and extra time ended in a draw, and the hosts proved more accurate in the post-match shootout.
– A very important victory for us, considering that we lost against Kunlun in the previous match, even though we played well there. In vain they say of us that… Although these are their problems, let them say what they want. I repeat once again that today we won a very important psychological victory. Because losing at home twice in a row would be tough. Today we had a good opponent, fast. But we managed to win back with 0:2, that’s worth a lot. It’s a shame they allowed the opposition to tie the score in the third period, but they showed the public the beauty of hockey.
– What is the situation with injured players?
We live like on a bomb. Some drop out, others fall ill. It happens that a person falls ill for three days, returns to the team, but he still needs time to regain his physical condition. Today Danka Vovchenko came out after an illness in less than optimal conditions. No Petunia. The situation is difficult, – quotes the words of Razin “”.
Severstal is seventh in the KHL Western Conference table with 64 points.
