Head coach of the hockey club CSKA Sergei Fedorov after the victory against Spartak, he said that his team still needed to work on their game in the early stages of the matches.
On Saturday, CSKA beat Spartak on home ice in overtime (3:2) in the Fonbet KHL championship match. After the first half, Fedorov’s team trailed 0:2.
— Another difficult match for us, especially the beginning. We don’t have the right to start playing defense like that. In the locker room it was clear that the guys themselves did not expect such a start, everything got out of control in the first half, we will find out why this happened.
The next two periods showed that we can play well. Playing without the puck leaves a lot to be desired. Nevertheless, congratulations to the guys for the victory, they found solutions to score and equalize. We will work on the aspects I mentioned. Thanks to the fans for their good support!
Playing offense is what we do well. Everyone prepares the matches with us, they perfectly understand what we have been through over the last two seasons. And yet psychology still leaves a lot to be desired, especially in our first periods.
Kamenev played better today than before the injury, I’m happy for him. He played competently, in short periods, especially at the beginning, then he got involved and showed a good level of interaction with his partners. So far, his game evokes only positive emotions, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Fedorov’s words.
CSKA scored seven points and is eighth in the KHL Western Conference standings.
