The head coach “Spartacus” Alexey Jamnov after defeating “Torpedo” in a regular season match of the Fonbet Championship KHL said his team’s players lacked emotion on the bench.
On Monday, Spartak defeated Torpedo (3:2) in the KHL regular season match.
– What is the reason for the two missed goals by the Torpedo defenders?
— They shot from the blue line, the second from the end. The game is tough, good team. All our games with them are difficult. From the bench, we could see that the players almost lacked emotion. We had a lot of emotion against Dynamo. But well done guys, a win is a win.
— Morozov was excited for the match. How do you judge his attitude?
– He missed the match, he wanted to fight for a long time. Two months of absence is a long time. He played decently, at his level. But he will continue to improve. His game will be much more productive and better.
— How do you evaluate Morozov’s game in the usual combination with Poryadin and Golodobin? They looked great again.
— This is the core of their trio. They have a mutual understanding. Not only do they play together on the ice, but they also communicate off the ice. You won’t be surprised by anything new here. When the center returns to the ice, he knows what to expect from his teammates. Likewise, the wingers know how Morozov is going to play.
— Is Tsyplakov’s pass to Prince at NHL level?
– No, it’s just a moment of play. Well done, he saw it and gave it. The pass is good, but it’s not NHL level, it’s just a hockey pass. They do that in the KHL too.
“It doesn’t work for Chezganov.” He creates chances, shoots a lot, but misses.
“He needs to calm down a bit.” When he starts to get nervous, he starts doing the wrong things. This is the task of the technical staff. We will talk to him and calm him down. But when there are chances, it’s good, the goals will come, he will break through.
— 4-1 in the season series with Torpedo. How do you consistently beat a stylistically similar opponent?
“I think the coaches of both teams understand that the game lasts every 60 minutes, whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins. Yes, the season series is 4-1, but the playoffs are a different game. We do not seek or choose who will play with us in the playoffs. Therefore, it is wrong to focus on who played how during the season,” reports Zhamnov’s words, according to a correspondent.
Spartak is in fourth place in the Western Conference standings with 76 points.
