Defender of Moscow “Spartacus” Egor Zaitsev after beating Severstal Cherepovets, he told that the team needed to work on the play in the first half.
On Monday, Spartak beat Severstal (6:4) at home in the Fonbet KHL Championship. After the first period, the Cherepovites led 1:0.
– We started badly, in the second half we came out more calm, scored goals and retired the game. In the third half we tried to play reliably, but in the end we lost our concentration and conceded an unnecessary goal, otherwise we could finish more calmly. We have to work on the first half and we will do it in the next matches. The staff always warns us, talks about the importance of the starting segments, unfortunately it is not yet possible to start the matches successfully, but we will work on it.
– Did the defeat of the previous match put a lot of pressure on the team?
– After the match with Kunlun, there was no tension in the team, because they gave this match by themselves, they didn’t realize their chances. We had a lot of chances and the opponent, on the contrary, scored everything he could. Again we had a weak first half, we should have played better from the start, and because of a bad streak we have already missed three in the first half. It is very difficult to arrange such matches, Zaitsev told .
