The head coach “Red Star of Kunlun” Viktor Ignatiev after being defeated by “Vityaz” said his team had played better than the day before against “Spartacus” but actions in unequal compositions did not lead to winning.
On Saturday, Kunlun lost to Vityaz in the Moscow Mayor’s Cup on penalties (3:4). The day before, the Chinese team lost to Spartak (1:4) and will now play for fifth place in the tournament.
– Compared to yesterday’s game, it was not bad, there was a good movement. Five against five, we played very well. The majority and the minority did not let us win today. We conceded in the minority and couldn’t realize the opportunities on the power play.
I worked for a season at Vityaz. I have good relations with my colleagues. It was a normal game. I can’t call it essential.
Jurusik is fine. Pulled abdominal muscle. But there is no problem. He said everything was fine. Will Ryan Merkley play tomorrow? Tomorrow is gone. Will play the 2 against Spartak. He arrived by plane, underwent a medical examination, but did not ride for three or four days. So it’s useless.
Congratulations to Austin Wong. Those are his first three points at the senior level. Before that, he had only played in college. He’s a smart guy, – the correspondent of conveys Ignatiev’s words.
The new KHL season will kick off on September 1 with the Cup opener between CSKA and Ak Bars.
