Offensive “Spartacus” Roman Lyubimov after a big injury CSKA (1:7) in the match, KHL Championship’s Fonbet said in a chat with that the Red-Whites have not given up hope of advancing to the playoffs.
At the end of this match, the “Spartak” with 64 points takes 9th place in the table of the Western Conference, behind the “Dynamo” of Minsk (66). Both teams have one more game to play – the Red-Whites will face Dynamo Moscow on February 26 and the Minskers will face Vityaz the day before. In case of finishing in the league with an equal number of points, Spartak will have an advantage in additional indicators (more wins in regular time).
“In the game against CSKA everything went wrong,” Lyubimov said. We had a game plan, but we didn’t execute it. With teams like CSKA, it’s very important not to cash in. And we started making mistakes and allowing the army team to use our mistakes. They did it brilliantly.
– Spartak now walks a knife’s edge in every game. Do you believe the season will be saved?
– We still have one game and three days to draw the right conclusions. In the last 60 minutes of the regular season, we will give everything. And there – how it will turn out. How Minskers will play. They have a match a day early. Today we received a very good slap from CSKA.
– Many fans donated a Spartak football game today to support you. What will you tell them?
– We let the fans down, for that I want to apologize to them. And thanks for the support. We will try to win in the last game. And if we get into the playoffs, we’ll stir up a rumble there.
