Zhamnov – about the defeat against CSKA: “Such matches come, Spartak must go through them, be able to overcome them”

The head coach “Spartacus” Alexey Jamnov After the defeat against CSKA in the KHL championship match, Fonbet said that the team had to go through such matches to learn to excel.

On Thursday, Spartak lost to CSKA at home with a score of 0:3.

— What are the reasons for today’s defeat?

“Such games happen, you have to go through them, be able to overcome them. We created a lot of chances, but you have to give credit to the opposing goalkeeper, he played very well. Unfortunately, we failed to score. We must enjoy the moments. I told the players that there would be games like this: there are chances, but the puck doesn’t move. Sometimes defeat is better than victory. You analyze these things and the team becomes stronger.

— Is such a defeat useful in psychological terms?

— In terms of psychology, of course. We must overcome this in ourselves. There are many such matches, you need to draw the right conclusions and prepare for the next match. There are no complaints about the dedication of the guys. CSKA realized the mistakes we made.

— Is a canceled goal the key moment of the match?

— It’s always easier with such an opponent when you’re leading. Such a goal would have affected the progress of the match. But, on the other hand, the goal was not counted, but the match lasted 60 minutes. Relying on a canceled goal is a mistake.

—Didn’t it bother you that it turned out to be so easy with Neftekhimik? Goldobin scored three, shot the clip, then went to the football and relaxed.

– A person should relax. I want the players to relax and spend time with their families. Focusing only on the game will drive you crazy. If we had no luck today, then we could say that the music video was filmed. There were chances, but not enough finishes. If there are opportunities, it means that the players have the desire. We had more today than in other matches. CSKA scored three more goals today.

— When can we expect Ilya Talaluev to return?

– We’re watching him. I do not undertake to give a precise date. It all depends on how the rehabilitation goes. He is under the supervision of doctors and trains on the ice. I can’t say when it will be ready.

— Is it a coincidence that Spartak could not turn the tide of the match against CSKA today? Could this happen conditionally in the match against Neftekhimik?

– This can happen to anyone. CSKA is an experienced team. She has played in the final five years in a row. She has enormous experience. There is no need to look at where this team stands in the standings. CSKA will be in the playoffs and it will be very difficult to play against them. It’s an experience for our team. We are building a team. Overcoming these difficulties constitutes another challenge for us. We didn’t succeed today, but we learn from our mistakes. We must implement these moments that we have created. I can’t say that I was unlucky, somewhere I lacked composure, somewhere I made unnecessary movements. It’s a great experience for us. We’ll talk to the guys and explain these nuances.

— CSKA is a competent team. Are players depressed that it’s impossible to play with them?

– Why the discouragement? This is the fourth match with CSKA in three months. The guys know we can play with them. Today we played decently, the score was not consistent with the match. I don’t see the guys being depressed and thinking we can’t play with them. We can play with any team if we play the right way and do the job. It’s just a game. We lost a battle, not a war. CSKA is a qualified team, we have something to achieve. We will become even more competent. We need to gain experience. We probably don’t have the same experience as this team. Nothing bad happened. We need to draw the right conclusions, analyze everything,” reports the correspondent of , according to Zhamnov’s words.
