Double winner of the Gagarin Cup as part of “Dynamo” Sergei Konkov summed up the Moscow club’s season.
Dynamo ended their Gagarin Cup performance in the second round by losing to Chelyabinsk “To the tractor” in the series with a score of 0 to 4.
— If we take the regular season, Dynamo experienced it without problems and was able to win first place at the very end. Thanks to stable play, the team played in a very balanced manner throughout the season. Of course, the first line was brilliantly played.
To say what happened in the playoffs, why there was no such performance, why we could not play reliably on defense, you need to be in the team and analyze the nuances and the details that happened. Apparently, there will be an analysis from the technical staff: what reasons led to this result, why there was not enough safety margin to win the matches. In home matches, luck was on Traktor’s side: Dynamo had every chance of winning these matches.
We have to give Traktor credit for not allowing Dynamo to dominate; in some cases they defended themselves reliably and patiently. In the end, maybe the guys couldn’t handle the tension, because when a team is 3-0 up, it’s very difficult to do anything. The technical staff must analyze what went wrong for them. Because the impression of the season is formed precisely after the playoffs: what are these victories for, why this first place, why was all this done and so much time and effort wasted only to be eliminated in the second round ? – “Championship” quotes Konkov.
