Attack “Spartacus” Ansel Galimov said that the Moscow team’s technical staff requires players to cover the opposing goalkeeper and irritate him.
On Tuesday, the “red-whites” beat “Metallurgist” in the fourth match of the Gagarin Cup quarter-final series (1:0). Galimov scored the only goal scored. After that, the series score was tied 2-2.
— Tell us about the goal you scored. Did you feel the rebound at that moment?
“Every minute the head coach or his assistants tell us: “There is always one in front of the goal. » We cover the goalie. We stop in front of him and make him nervous. And it works. We followed the coach’s instructions and won.
— Before your goal, Alexei Zhamnov shouted from the bench: “Come on, guys, we have to go into the zone, shoot and you will score!” Did you hear that?
– How does he scream? I’ve been working with him since the summer. He can shout, thank and support. There are times when you can’t do anything, and the coach’s hand falls on your shoulder from behind, he whispers something in your ear and the team cheers. For us it is very important. I think it was emotions. He said this to bring the guys to their senses.
— Is there a recovery for Spartak after two victories?
— Over the past 31 years, our club has won Magnitogorsk only once. And we had incredible support in Moscow. We are grateful to all the spectators, and when we enter the locker room after menstruation, the first words are: “Guys, there are so many fans there – stop lugging around some things, let’s make them happy!”
We always feel our fans. Their support is very important to us. And even during the matches in Magnitogorsk, we heard our supporters. Emotionally, they give us great support. They motivated us, so we got through the first home game, managed to score first and won today.
— Do you think you have already adapted to Magnitogorsk? The opponents are not doing well, their coach is a little nervous at the press conference…
— This is probably the work of all the technical staff and videographers. We watch a lot of videos and analyze them constantly. I think this work will not be in vain. We just have to do what the coaching team demands of us, ”reports a correspondent, reporting Galimov’s words.
The next match of the confrontation will take place in Magnitogorsk on March 28.
