Former Russian national team striker Salavat Yulaev and CSKA Igor Grigorenko today advisor to the general director of development”Frets “, called the current season successful for the Togliatti club.
Lada has not played in the KHL since the 2017/18 season and returned to competition this season. In the first season after returning, the Togliatti club took seventh place in the Eastern Conference and reached the playoffs. In the first round, Oleg Bratash’s team lost to Avangard Omsk in five matches.
– Nobody expected Lada to qualify for the playoffs; everyone was used to clubs trailing in last place in the first year. It is a success that the team, the technical staff and the management of the club have achieved. The task was set and accomplished: Yes, we could have made some noise in the playoffs, but I think we did it anyway.
We played the series well, except for the first match, the rest was interesting, we could have won the second match, but we missed the thread of the match with the score 2:0. Now, during the off-season, work will begin for the management and leaders so that the club develops,” Grigorenko was quoted as saying by the Championship.
