General Director of Chelyabinsk “Tractors” Ivan Savin highlighted the goalkeeper’s performance Zachary Fucale in the first round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs with Ufa “Salavat Yulaev”.
The Chelyabinsk team won the series with a score of 4-2.
— Which leaders can you name?
— First of all, the result was influenced by the unity of the team. If I choose anyone, it would definitely be Fucale. He influenced the victory not only with his reliable play, but also with the emotions that energize the team and the fans. It’s really cool. And all the other guys were fully involved in the confrontation with “Salavat” and made a good impression thanks to their combative and professional qualities.
— Now we can already say that Traktor made the right choice by signing a contract with Fucale?
“We knew from the start that we made the right choice and that Zachary would definitely strengthen us. After signing the contract, goalkeeper coach Peter Shkrabel worked productively with Fucale, Sergei Mylnikov and our other goalkeepers. We now see a positive interim result of this work,” Savin said, as quoted by RB Sport.
In the second round, Traktor will face Dynamo Moscow.
