Head coach of Spartak Moscow Alexey Jamnov after the home victory over Sochi, he noted that the coaching staff managed to reach the players and make them feel emotions, without which high-quality hockey is impossible.
THURSDAY “Spartacus” on his ice he defeated Sochi with a score of 4:3 in the Fonbet KHL championship match. With a score of 4:2 a minute before the siren, red-white striker Maxim Tsyplakov did not shoot into the empty goal and tried to pass to his partner, but the Sochi players intercepted the puck and immediately led an effective attack.
— What happened when Tsyplakov, instead of scoring into an empty net, tried to pass to German Rubtsov?
– How can I describe this situation to you? I’m not even laughing. Hysterical… I have no explanation. This is probably a question that arises for Tsyplakov himself. We had a conversation in the locker room, but this is an internal kitchen.
— Matvey Zaseda only played two teams in the third period. What can you say about his game?
— Some of our guys got sick before the match, so we had to call Zaseda. It must have been hard for him because he went straight into the match. It’s not okay to talk about anything specific right now; we cannot judge on a single match. Let’s look at this in more detail.
— How serious is Ansel Galimov’s injury?
— It’s hard to say now, but Ansel finished the game.
— Summarize the first part of the season.
— There are victories, there are defeats, the guys are great, they tried to show the hockey we asked of them. But there are many nuances in hockey that need to be worked on in the future. Getting to the top is hard, but staying there is even harder.
— Are you surprised by such a successful season?
– This is the merit of hockey players – they believed that the discipline of the game and the fulfillment of coaching tasks could bring results. The team understands that we can beat any opponent. But you still want the team to move in the right direction without any changes.
— What are your plans for this break (in the championship)?
— The team will have three days off and we will start training on Monday.
— Did the team have enough emotion?
“No one doubted the team had emotions. We can’t play hockey without them, we can only do mass skating. We tried to get the guys’ emotions out and reach them.
— Spartak will have two home matches in Luzhniki, does this create difficulties?
“No, we train there periodically,” reports the correspondent of , according to Zhamnov’s words.
