Defender “Spartak » Egor Zaitsev told that the “red-whites” have quite strong guys who can respond to the power struggle of the system teams.
After 26 KHL regular season matches, Spartak is in second place in the Western Conference standings with 36 points. On Saturday, the “red and white” will play at home against the “Torpedo” from Nizhny Novgorod.
— There is an opinion that “Spartak”, which plays creative combined hockey, finds it difficult to face such organized systems as “Lokomotiv” and CSKA, which play with strong pressure. Do you agree?
– I understand what we are talking about. But I don’t think it can have any effect on Spartak. We have some pretty strong guys, a solid team that can respond to power struggles. It’s not scary for us. And the fact that it’s supposedly not easy for us against organized teams… This season we have already beaten CSKA, we beat them in pre-season. There are no permanent victories of the system and no constant victories of creativity,” Zaitsev told .
