Attack “Spartacus” Maxim Tsyplakov after an away defeat against CSKA named the reason for the unsatisfactory result of the match.
On Friday, Spartak lost to CSKA with a score of 1:3 in the Fonbet KHL championship match. The “reds and whites” lost the second half with a score of 1:2.
— The only thing that wasn’t enough for victory was good play in the second period.
— There were a lot of fights in this match. It looked like they were going to escalate into a fight. How did you manage to hold back?
— Skirmishes happen in hockey, no one is immune to emotions. There is nothing special about it. Sure, you can attract people, but we don’t have any tough guys. Therefore, we can only acquire emotions through energetic struggle.
— Do you have a particular fear of CSKA? Yet you lost three out of four matches against them?
– No, it does not disturb me. You just have to play correctly, that’s all. You can beat any team if you play correctly. This season, no one beat us without luck,” reports a correspondent, according to Tsyplakov’s words.
Spartak, having scored 66 points in 48 matches, occupies second place in the Western Conference standings.
