CEO”Frets “Alexander Chebotarev told that he was not surprised by the entry of the Togliatti team into the playoffs of the Fonbet KHL championship.
On Sunday, Lada took part in the Gagarin Cup ahead of schedule thanks to the defeat of Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik in the match against Cherepovets Severstal. The Togliatti team, returning to the league after a five-year break, will compete in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years.
— Lada’s entry into the playoffs is truly an event for the club, the city and the fans. Emotions are only positive. The goal of the playoffs is to go as far as possible.
— Are you very surprised that Lada reached the playoffs in the first season after returning to the KHL?
– No. To be honest, I was surprised at the start of the season, in September-October. Then the team produced a result that no one expected. Yes, the end of the season was a bit of a blur, but now I think we’ve started to even things out and catch up. The match against SKA in Saint Petersburg showed it: we played well against a serious opponent. The character of the team is showing itself, so everything is still ahead, including the sensations,” Chebotarev told .
