Spartak was preparing for the fact that the team’s former striker Alexander Khokhlachev will play for Love, says Red and White head coach Alexei Jamnov .
On Wednesday, Spartak defeated Amur in the regular season game of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) – 5:3. Being part of the Khabarovsk team, former Muscovites striker Khokhlachev did not go on the ice. Earlier, Amur general manager Vadim Pokotilo said it was one of the conditions of the deal with Spartak.
– It looked like Spartak sank in the third period. What is it related to?
“The penalties broke our game. We sank even earlier, and not in the third period. I played in waves again today. We explained everything to the guys during the second break. We have something to work on in terms of game discipline.
– Martemyanov said that “Love” did not have enough Khokhlacheva. Are you happy he didn’t play?
– The question is not very correct. It’s a question of management. They had such an agreement. We were determined for him to play.
– It looked like Spartak were playing more reliably in defense, but then the withdrawals started. How can this be explained?
– It’s a game discipline. When you play in the minority, you can’t withdraw and leave the team at three. Emotions probably boiled over, sank a bit. For us it’s the third game in a row, maybe the fatigue is superimposed. The experienced guys retired today. This is our indoor kitchen, let’s find out. I think the guys themselves understand everything. I hope there will be no such deletions in the future.
Why didn’t Prince play?
“Prince has a microtrauma.
– According to reports, Spartak agreed with defender Joey Keane, who played last season.
– I was told that they agreed with him. Until I say – in which link I see it. Let him go first. We will try to get it to you as soon as possible. Management is investigating this issue. I don’t know yet when he will be able to start training. It all depends on obtaining a visa and all these nuances. It takes time.
– Pashin scored his first goal. Did you understand that he could excel today?
He did not play the previous game. We had a conversation with him. They showed him the nuances in which he could strengthen the game. Kudos for doing it. I hope he will continue to improve. Back from North America, he adapts normally. Of course, here is a slightly different hockey. He listens. The guy has all the assets to become a good player. There are mistakes, but they all have them.
– Pashin has a style similar to Khokhlacheva. When letting him go, did you keep in mind that he had a replacement?
– It was hoped that they would come to an agreement with Khokhlacheva, but it did not work out. A mutual decision was made. Pashin probably has something of Khokhlacheva. But we cannot compare them at all, they are two different players. We wish good luck to Alexandre. We treat it with respect. That’s how it is, that’s life. He spent a lot of time here. He has done a lot for the organization.
We have a reserve, which in the future may bring even more benefits. We are building a new team.
– Kareev won the last game. Why did Patrik Rybar play today?
– We have a goalkeeping coach, he determines. He works with them and understands better who is ready. The coaching staff trusts him, – reports the correspondent Zhamnov’s words.
