The head coach “Torpedo” Igor Larionov said that none of the players of the Nizhny Novgorod club stopped playing in the playoff match KHL with Petersburg S.K.A. everyone tried to save the game.
Torpedo lost to SKA on Monday in the third game of the second round of the Gagarin Cup with a score of 0:4. The St. Petersburg club leads 3-0 in the best-of-four series.
– Torpedo plays in a small stadium built in 1965. But the match was broadcast across Russia on . And many supported Torpedo, although they did not live in Nizhny Novgorod. Do you feel this energy?
– You know, it’s a huge support. And we talked about it before the game. We saw such support during the series with Dynamo Moscow, we saw it in Saint Petersburg.
Naturally, everyone reads, speaks, everyone answers texts and calls. We understand that there is a huge army of fans supporting us. I don’t know if it’s hindered or not, but here you have to somehow overcome the psychological barrier when you go out, losing by the score of 0:2. And you lose faith. Although I can’t blame anyone that someone gave up or stopped playing. Everyone tried, created chances, looked for an opportunity to save the game.
Unfortunately, the goalkeeper’s game today was once again at a high level. So you need to do everything to immediately take the lead in the score and make the opponent make mistakes, ”reports the correspondent in the words of Larionov.
The next match in the series will take place on Wednesday in Nizhny Novgorod.
