On Sunday, Torpedo suffered an away defeat against SKA (3:4) in the Fonbet KHL championship match.
– Good evening, good match, good arena. I hope everyone enjoyed the plot, the match, the drama. The opponent with a victory and our guys with a good game.
We understood the “greatness” of the stadium for 18-year-old boys. The young people found themselves on a big stage and facing a strong opponent. I won’t say that the first half was bad, there were a lot of shots, there was the usual offensive attack. After the first period we calmed down and pulled ourselves together. I think we played a very good match.
I am proud of the young players. There were some mistakes in the defense of more experienced players, but we will discuss them. The young man passed a good exam.
“We are not happy with the defeat, but we were on the verge of winning today,” reports the correspondent of , according to Larionov’s words.
Torpedo, after losing the fourth consecutive match, occupies sixth place in the West with 74 points.
