Head coach of CSKA Sergei Fedorov After the victory over Spartak in the KHL championship match, Fonbet said that he deliberately took a risk in overtime, changing the goalkeeper to a field player, because after a series of not the most successful matches , a result was necessary.
On Saturday, September 16, CSKA beat Spartak Moscow on their home ice in overtime (3:2 in overtime); After the first period, Fedorov’s team was behind by 0:2. CSKA, with seven points, is eighth in the KHL Western Conference standings.
“We lost the previous matches, and it’s our fault.” We understand why this happened, there is always good analysis of matches. I hope this match – especially the second and third periods – gives us the momentum we need to play the full 60 minutes.
It would be strange if I said that early season losses are expected. Of course, we expected a different start, but that didn’t happen, so we go from match to match and try each match to improve the components that prevent us from moving forward. The guys understand it, now we have to play the way we can and know how to do it.
Today I wanted to win. Yes, eliminating the goalkeeper in overtime is a risk, the opponent could have scored. But the result, I hope, has relieved us of the burden; we needed a victory now – in a match against a good, fast opponent, who showed that he can play well,” reports correspondent, reporting Fedorov’s words.
