Spartak forward Maxim Tsyplakov admitted that by the middle of the KHL regular season, the Moscow team had become a little physically tired.
On Thursday, the “red and white” defeated “Salavat Yulaev” at the Fonbet KHL Championship with a score of 6:2, Tsyplakov scored a double. Spartak leads the Western Conference with 47 points.
– Actually, it was a very difficult match. It didn’t work at all. There was a lot of confusion, no drawing. It was psychologically difficult for us, we acted without initiative. We played well in the first half, but in the second we lost the lead, after which it was difficult to recover. The third was difficult to set up. If the opponent had scored at the start of this period, it would have been difficult for us. They listen to us differently. We are in the middle of the championship, we are perhaps a little physically tired. I wouldn’t say that we are waiting for the December holidays, because then it will be difficult for us to get into the rhythm of the match. Good recovery is necessary. Why am I having the best season of my career? I don’t know, maybe the age is already close? – RB Sport quotes Tsyplakov as saying.
