The head coach “Spartacus” Alexey Jamnov on , he praised his team for their reliable defensive play in Game 4 of the Fonbet Championship playoff series KHL with Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist” .
On Tuesday, Spartak beat Metallurg at home with a score of 1:0 and equalized the score in the second round – 2-2.
—Just before the goal was scored, you said on the bench: “Go ahead, shoot and you will score.”
“I can’t say what I felt, but I saw what the guys were missing. They lacked a little aggression, shooting, player in front of the goalkeeper and finishing. Everything they said happened: a rebound, a finish, a goal.
— How did you manage to maintain self-confidence and concentration among the guys?
— I agree, it’s a nervous match. The price of a mistake is dear in such games, but the guys did well, they coped with it. I’m happy we played well on defense. Of course, we would like to see more goals, but that will suit us for today,” Zhamnov said on .
I also talked about the match head coach of metallurg Andrey Razin.
— What do you attribute to the fact that they didn’t score?
— The goalkeepers played well.
— There were three majorities, but none was implemented. It is a problem?
“I repeat, the opposing goalkeeper played well,” Razin said on .
The teams will play their fifth match on March 28 in Magnitogorsk.
